The following questions concern a circle of radius 4 cm.
\n" ); document.write( "a) Determine the area of the sector of a circle that subtends an angle of 2π/3 radians.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the whole circle:: pi*4^2 = 16pi
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "2pi/3 is (1/3)2pi, so the area is (1/3)(16pi) = (5 1/3)pi
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "b) Determine the angle at the centre of the circle that is subtended by an arc 2 cm long. Express your answer in terms of π radians accurate to 2 decimal places.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "theta (in radians) = (arc length)/(radius)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "theta = (2 cm)/r = (2cm)/(4cm) = 0.50 radian
\n" ); document.write( "=====
