• Circumference of a circle- 2πr
• Area of a circle – πr2
• Length of an Arc of a sector of a circle with radius r and angle with degree
measure θ is θ/360x2πr
• Area of a circle with radius r and angle with degrees measure θ is θ/360 x πr2
• Area of a segment of a circle = Area of the corresponding sector – Area of the
corresponding triangle
11. Area of the sector of angle θ = θ / 360 x πr2
Example :- Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 4 cm and of
angle 30 degree ?
Solution :- Area of the sector = θ / 360 x πr2
= 30 / 360 x 3.14 x 4 x4 cm2
= 12.56 / 3 cm2
= 4.19 cm2 (approx.)

12. Length of an arc of a sector of angle θ = θ / 360 x 2πr
Example :- find the length of the major arc given in the
fig..?
Solution :- arc length = θ/ 360 x 2 πr
= 240 / 360 x 2π x 6
= 8π
= 25.2

13. Area of segment of a circle = area of the corresponding sector –area of
the corresponding triangle
Example:- find the area of the segment of a circle in which area of sector is
16.75 m and area of triangle is 6.93m ?
Solution :- area of segment = area of the corresponding sector – area of the
corresponding triangle.
= 16.75 – 6.93
= 9.82 m2
14. AREAS OF COMBINATIONS OF PLAIN FIGURES
Example :- Find the area of the shaded region in fig. given, where ABCD is a
square of side 14 cm.
Solution :- Area of square ABCD = 14 x 14 cm2 = 196 cm2
Diameter of each circle = 14/ 2 cm= 7 cm
Radius of each circle = 7/2 cm
so, area of one circle = πr2 = 22/7 x 7/2 x 7/2 cm2
= 154/ 4 cm
= 77/2 cm2
Therefore, area of the four circles = 4 x 77 / 2
= 154 cm 2
Hence, area of the shaded region = (196 – 154 ) cm2
= 42 cm2
