The area of a sector is given by $$A=\frac{1}{2}\theta r^2$$, where $\theta$ is the size of the angle in radians. What is the value of $\theta$ first of all?

= 1/3 of pi*2^2

cwrw238 · Answer

= 4.19

anonymous · Answer

you don't have to find it in radians. You find the ratio of the angle to the circle, which is the same ratio of the area of the sector as the entire circle
