Sector Question

1. A circle of diameter 30 cm has a sector of 65 degrees removed. What is the perimeter and surface area of the rest of the circle?


2. A circle of diameter 15 cm has part of a right-angled triangle overlapping it. One angle of the triangle, measuring 37 degrees, is at the dead centre of the triangle, and one side of length 25m, extends outward to the right angle.

What is the area of the triangle that is outside of the circle?

  1. solution 1
    diameter of the circle = 30cm
    angle of sector removed = 60 degrees
    area of circle = pie*r^2
    area of sector = @/360* pie*r^2
    to find the surface area of the remainder of the circle we must find the area of the sector and subtract it from the area of the whole circle.
    area of the whole circle = pie * r^2
    =706.8 cm^2
    area of the sector = @/360*pie * r^2
    = 117.8

    remaining surface area = 706.8 - 117.8
    =589cm^2

    preimeter of whole circle= 2pie * r
    = 94.2cm
    perimeter of sector = @/360* 2pie*r
    =15.7cm
    perimeter of the remainder of the circle
    =94.2 - 15.7
    = 78.5cm

  2. solution 2
    i think this question is worded wrongly
    - i think the triangle surpose to be measured in centimeters and not in meters
    - it supposed to be the dead center of the circle and not the triangle.

    solution to the problem with the mistakes corrected.

    first we need to find the area of the triangle.
    we can use trigs to find the the heightof the triangle
    so
    tan@ = opp/adj
    opp = adj tan@
    = 25 tan@
    = 18.8cm

    area of the triangle = (b*h)/2
    = (25*18.8)2
    = 235cm^2

    next we find the area of the sector
    area of the sector = @/360 * pie*r^2
    = 18.2cm^2

    area of triangle outside of the circle
    = 235-18.2
    = 216.6cm^2

  3. How`to`find`the`area`&`perimeter`of`sector?

    Well`first`we`must`consider`what`is`a`secor`
    A`Sector`of`a`circle`is`any`part`bounded`by
    two`radii`and`an`arc`(part`of`a`circle)

    The`AREA`&`PERIMETER`is`given`by:

    Area=:(angle/360)*pie*radius^2

    Perimeter=(2*r)+[(x*pie*radius)/180]

    note`x`is:`angle`of`sector/360

    so`knowing`this`we`will`attempt`Question`1

    1. A circle of diameter 30 cm has a sector of 65 degrees removed. What is the perimeter and surface area of the rest of the circle?


    Perimeter`of`circle:2*pie*radius
    so
    P=2*pie*15
    P=94.25cm^2

    Perimeter`of`sector:
    Perimeter=(2*r)+[(x*pie*radius)/180]
    note`x`is:`angle`of`sector/360
    so
    x=65/360=0.181
    r=15

    P=(2*15)+[(0.181*pie*15)/180)]
    P=30+[8.53/180]
    P=30+0.047
    P=30.05m^2

    To`get`the`perimeter`of`the`restof`the`circle
    you`minus`Perimeter`of`circle`and`the`sector
    so
    Perimeter`of`the`rest`of`the`circle`is:

    P=P1-P2
    P=94.25-30.05
    P=64.2cm^2

    Answer`for`remaining`perimeter`is:63.2cm^2

    We`will`work`out`the`area`now

    area`of`circle`is:pie*radius^2
    A=pie*15^2
    A=706.9cm^2

    area`of`sector`is:(angle/360)*pie*radius^2
    A=(65/360)*706.9
    A=0.181*706.9
    A=128cm^2

    We`can`now`get`the`area`of`the`remaining`circle`by`subtracting`the`2`areas
    so
    Area`remaining`:A1-A2

    A=706.9-128
    A=579cm^2

    Answer`for`remaining`Area:579cm^2

    i`tink`Q2`have`an`error`also
    but`i'll`try`it`using`your`method

  5. Sorry, question 2 should have read:

    2. A circle of diameter 15 cm has part of a right-angled triangle overlapping it. One angle of the triangle, measuring 37 degrees, is at the dead centre of the circle, and one side of length 25cm, extends outward to the right angle.

    What is the area of the triangle that is outside of the circle?

  6. weezy, perimeter is not measured in cm^2 just cm
