The relationship

Formula

A = ½r²θ · s = rθ · P = 2r + s

For a radius of 8 cm and an angle of 90°: area ≈ 50.2655 cm², arc ≈ 12.5664 cm, perimeter ≈ 28.5664 cm.

Common questions

What is the difference between a sector and a segment?

A sector is bounded by two radii and an arc. A segment is bounded by a chord and an arc.

Does sector perimeter include both radii?

Yes. Sector perimeter is the arc length plus the two straight radii.

How do I calculate a semicircle?

Use a central angle of 180°. The calculated sector area will be half the area of the full circle.
