Geometry
Objective:
To find partial areas and

circumferences of circles.
What you should know…
Find the

Circumference and the
Area of a circle with
diameter 10.
WHAT IS?
ARC LENGTH

An arc length is a fraction of the circumference.
The concept…
Can you find the arc length of this
Semicircle?

What would the arc length be if we just wanted to use a
quarter of the circle?
HOW DO WE FIND ARC LENGHTS?
With the following proportion:

Part of a circumference
Whole Circumference
circle

Arc length
пD

=

Portion of degrees
Whole: Degrees in a

= Central Angle
360
GUIDED EXAMPLE 1
Find the length of the arc:
Independent example
Find the length of the arc AB.
SECTORS
What is a sector?
AREA OF A SECTOR
FORMULA:

AREA OF SECTOR
AREA OF CIRCLE

=

CENTRAL ANGLE
360

AREA OF SECTOR = CENTRAL ANGLE
пr2
360
