Q9 of 37 Page 13

Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 4cm and angle 30°. Also, find the area of the corresponding major sector [use π=3.14].


Given: Radius of circle = 4cm


And Central angle, θ = 30°


To find: Area of the sector


Now, Area of the sector of angle θ


Area of the sector of angle θ [π = 3.14]


Area of the sector of angle θ



=4.19cm2


Now, we have to find the area of major sector (unshaded region)


= Area of circle – Area of sector OAPBO


= πr2 – 4.19


= {3.14 × (4)2} – 4.19


= {3.14 × 16} – 4.19


= 50.24 – 4.19


= 46.05 cm2


Hence, the area of sector = 4.19cm2 and area of the major sector = 46.05cm2
