Arc Length & Area of a Sector — Easy Worksheet 2

Grade 10 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Give answers in terms of π (like 6π) unless the problem says to use π ≈ 3.14; then round to the nearest tenth.

How to solve

A sector is a fraction of the circle: central angle ÷ 360°. Arc length = (θ/360) · 2πr and sector area = (θ/360) · πr2. Simplify the fraction first, multiply, and keep π as a symbol unless told to use 3.14. To work backwards, set the formula equal to the given value and solve for θ or r.

Example

Find the length of the highlighted arc. Leave your answer in terms of π.

180°r = 7

Answer: 7π

right so far
1 Find the length of the highlighted arc. Leave your answer in terms of π.
90°r = 8
2 Find the area of the shaded sector. Leave your answer in terms of π.
180°r = 2
3 Find the length of the highlighted arc. Leave your answer in terms of π.
180°r = 8
4 Find the area of the shaded sector. Leave your answer in terms of π.
270°r = 8
5 Find the length of the highlighted arc. Leave your answer in terms of π.
180°r = 5
6 Find the area of the shaded sector. Leave your answer in terms of π.
180°r = 6
7 Find the length of the highlighted arc. Leave your answer in terms of π.
270°r = 6
8 Find the area of the shaded sector. Leave your answer in terms of π.
180°r = 4
