The radius of circle O and the measure of central angle O are given.
r=6; measure of angle O=30
----------------------
Assuming it's 30 degrees, that's 1/12 of the whole circle.
The area of the sector is 1/12 of the area of the circle, and the length of the arc is 1/12 of the circumference.
a) Find the exact area of the sector determined by the central angle.


Area =~ 9.425 square units
------------------------
b) Find the exact length of the intercepted arc.
Arc = 2pi*r/12
Arc = 12pi/12
Arc = pi units
