The radius of a circle is 6 cm. What is the area of a sector bounded by a 45° arc?

 

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\frac{{{\mathtt{r}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{\pi}}}{{\mathtt{8}}}}$$

 

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\frac{{{\mathtt{6}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{3.141\: \!59}}}{{\mathtt{8}}}}$$

 

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\mathtt{14.137}}$$cm2

The area is given by....

A = (1/2) r^2 (Θ )         where A is the area and Θ is the radian measure if the arc....so we have

A = (1/2) 6^2 * (pi / 4)  =   36 pi /  8   =  about 14.14 cm^2
