Sector Area

Arc Length

Sector Perimeter

Calculating Sector Area

A = (1/2)r^2*theta (radians) or (theta/360)*pi*r^2 (degrees). Perimeter = 2r + arc length.

A 60-degree sector of radius 10 has area ~52.36 (one-sixth of circle). 180-degree = half circle area.

Used in land surveying, pie charts, fan design, and curved structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sector area formula?

A = (1/2)r^2*theta (radians) or (theta/360)*pi*r^2 (degrees).

Find angle from area?

theta = 2A/r^2 (radians) or theta = 360A/(pi*r^2) (degrees).

Sector perimeter?

P = 2r + arc = 2r + r*theta. Two radii plus the curved arc.

Sector vs segment?

Sector: bounded by two radii and arc (pie slice). Segment: bounded by chord and arc.
