Sector area

The question
645°Area of the slice cm²

Sector: 45° of a circle, radius 6

How it works.

=
3.14 × 6 × 6=113.04
of113.04=14.13
14.13 cm²
  1. 01

    A slice is a fraction of the whole circle, and the angle says which fraction. A full turn is 360°, so 45° is 45 out of 360 — that is 1/8 of the circle.

  2. 02

    Now the whole circle. Its area is π × r × r : 3.14 × 6 × 6 = 113.04.

  3. 03

    Then take the slice's share of it: 1/8 of 113.04 is 14.13.

  4. 04

    So the area of the slice is 14.13 cm².
