Sector and

Segment of a Circle
Find the area of circle A with
the following measurement of its
radius:
B
1.) 5 cm
A 2.) 8 cm
A sector of a circle is the region
bounded by an arc of the circle and
the two radii to the endpoints of the
arc. To find the area of a sector of a
circle, get the product of the ratio

and the area of the circle.


Example:
The radius of C is 10 cm. If m= 60
degrees, what is the area of sector ACB?
Solution:
b.) Find the area(A) of the circle using the
equation , where r is the length of the radius.

The area of sector of a circle is


A segment of a circle is
the region bounded by an
arc and the segment
joining its endpoints.
Example:
The shaded region in the figure below is a
segment of T. It is the region bounded by and .
Solution:

To find the area of the


shaded segment in the figure,
subtract the area of triangle
PTQ from the area of sector
PTQ.
If m = 90 and the radius of the circle is 5 cm,
then the area of sector PTQ is one fourth of the
area of the whole circle. That is,
