CHAPTER 3: LENGTH OF ARC AND AREA OF SECTOR

Arc length and the area of a sector are proportional to the angle subtended at the centre of the circle.

Arc length of AB =

2 r 360

360 r 2

A Area of sector AOB =

B Skill assessed Calculate the arc length when the radius r and angle are given. Calculate the perimeter of an enclosed shape, involving sectors and triangles. Calculate the area of a shaded region, involving sectors, triangles and segments Usual format of questions A diagram and other information are given. By using = 22 , calculate (a) the perimeter of the whole diagram 7 (b) the area of the shaded region.

Strategies for problem solving 1. Identify the perimeter of the whole diagram by tracing the outline of the perimeter using colour. 2. Identify the values of the corresponding radius and angle for the arc length which you want to find. 3. Calculate the arc length by using the correct formulae. 4. Repeat the process if there is another arc length with different radius and angle. 5. Find the perimeter by adding the arc lengths and the length of straight lines. 6. Identify the region for which you want to find its area. 7. Identify the values of the corresponding radius and angle for the sector. 8. Calculate the area of the shaded region by using the correct formulae. Common Errors Students used the wrong formula. Students used wrong values for radius or angle. Students used other values of like 3.14. Students using the Additional Mathematics method round off the value of angle in radian to 2 or 3 significant figures only. Students calculated the perimeter of the shaded region when the question asked the perimeter of the whole diagram. Students did not read the question carefully to extract the right information.
