Sector area
The question
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
- 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.
- 02
Now the whole circle. Its area is π × r × r : 3.14 × 6 × 6 = 113.04.
- 03
Then take the slice's share of it: 1/8 of 113.04 is 14.13.
- 04
So the area of the slice is 14.13 cm².
