Example 1 (Method 1) Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 4 cm and of angle 30°. Also, find the area of the corresponding major sector (Use Ļ = 3.14). Given Radius = r = 4 cm, Īø=30° Now, Area of sector = š½/ššš Ć š šš = 30/360 Ć 3.14 Ć (4)2 = š/šš Ć š.šš Ć š Ć š = 1/3 Ć 3.14 Ć 4 = 12.56/3 cm2 = 4.19 cm2 Area of major sector = ((ššš ā š))/šššĆš šš = ((360 ā 30))/360 Ć 3.14 Ć (4)2 = ššš/ššš Ć š.šš Ć š Ć š = 11/12 Ć 3.14 Ć 4 Ć 4 = 46.05 cm2 Example 1 (Method 2) Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 4 cm and of angle 30°.
