Understanding Sector Calculations
A sector is a portion of a circle enclosed by two radii and an arc. The area of a sector and its arc length can be calculated using the following formulas:
- Sector Area: A = (θ/360°) × πr² where θ is the central angle in degrees and r is the radius
- Arc Length: L = (θ/360°) × 2πr where θ is the central angle in degrees and r is the radius
