Formula for Area of a Sector
A sector of a circle takes up a percentage of the circle. This
percentage is calculated by taking the full circle (360º) and
determining how many degrees the angle formed at the
center takes up. Then, divide that new angle by 360º and
multiply by the area of the circle.
