Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the area of a sector of a circle with radius 6 cm and a central angle of 90 degrees? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius (r) is 6 cm.
  • Step 2: Identify the central angle of the sector. Here, the angle (θ) is 90 degrees.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for the area of a sector: Area = (θ/360) × πr².
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: Area = (90/360) × π × (6)².
  • Step 5: Calculate (6)², which is 36.
  • Step 6: Now the formula looks like this: Area = (90/360) × π × 36.
  • Step 7: Simplify (90/360) to (1/4).
  • Step 8: Now the formula is: Area = (1/4) × π × 36.
  • Step 9: Multiply (1/4) by 36 to get 9.
  • Step 10: Therefore, the area of the sector is 9π cm².
