Question 1 or 2?
\[arc length = 2\pi r(\frac{C}{360})\] where r is the radius and C is the central angle of the arc in degrees
question 2
\[sectorarea=\pi r^2 (\frac{C}{360})\]
Since you know r and C of the 4 different sectors, work them out individually and then add the answers together to get the total area :)
but each side of the sectors has different lengths
you use the values that involve that sector. for example the sector with the 120 angle with be a side of OB=3cm as a value for r
for the 45 degree one the sides will be OC=5cm
the 60 degree will be )A=2cm and the last one (135 degree) is OD=3cm
does this make more sense? :D
is OC part of sector 120 degree or 45 degree???
OC is only a part of the 45 degree sector
I think I need to read up on sectors.
thanks for your help
I think it might have to do with the diagram, it is a little confusing. No worries (:
