Area of a Sector Consider an angle θ in standard position whose vertex coincides with the center of a circle of radius r. The portion of the circle bounded by the initial side and the terminal side of the angle is called a sector of the circle.
(a) If A is the area of the circle, then represents the area of the sector because
gives the fraction of the area covered by the sector. Show that the area of a sector,
Here theta is in radians.
(b)Find As if and r = 12 inches.
