Answer 2

in terms of angle theta at center (in radians ) it is 1/2 r^2 theta

Answer 3

r = radius

Answer 4

isnt it just (degree measure of sector/360)*3.14r squared?

Answer 5

my link will help you understand your question

Answer 6

well my choices are (degree measure of sector/360)*3.14r
(degree measure of sector/360)*2*3.14r
(degree measure of sector/360)*3.14r squared
(degree measure of sector/360)*3.14

Answer 7

yes you can also define it terms of degrees and pi

Answer 8

so which one is right?

Answer 9

correct is (measure of sector / 360) *3.14 * r^2

Answer 10
