12.02 Arc length and sector area

Interactive practice questions

If the circumference of the circle is equal to $144$144 cm, find the length of the solid arc.

A circle is depicted with its arc and two radii outlined with a solid green line, thus forming a sector, while the rest of the circle is represented with a dashed green line. The two radii of the sector, formed a central angle labeled as $160$ degrees.

II.G.C.5

Derive using similarity the fact that the length of the arc intercepted by an angle is proportional to the radius, and define the radian measure of the angle as the constant of proportionality; derive the formula for the area of a sector.
