5.1 Sector Intro
The AREA of a circle
can be found using
which formula?
2∏r
 ∏r2
SECTOR = part of the AREA
A SECTOR of a circle
is part of the AREA
of the circle.

Reduce 180/360

to find what part
of the area the sector is.

A 180 degree sector
is exactly one half
the AREA of a circle.

If the AREA of this circle
was 42∏, the 180 degree
SECTOR area would be
half of that,         ∏
