Circular Measure SPM 2003 - 2007

This document contains several word problems involving the calculation of angles, arc lengths, perimeters and areas of circular sectors. 1. The problems provide diagrams of circular sectors and arcs with given information such as radii, arc lengths, and angle measures. Students are asked to use this information to calculate unknown values like the measure of an angle in radians, the length of an arc or radius, or the area of a shaded region. 2. Standard circular measurement formulas are applied, including relationships between central angles, arc lengths, and fractions of circles. Problems often involve setting up and solving equations with variables representing the unknown values. 3. In total, the document presents 10 multi-part problems testing students' abilities
