TopicRadians, Arc Length and Sector Area
TypeSector perimeter calculation
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a straightforward application of the sector perimeter formula (2r + rθ = perimeter) with simple algebraic manipulation. Given r=2 and perimeter=6, students substitute to get 4 + 2θ = 6, yielding θ=1. The multiple-choice format and single mark confirm this is a routine recall question requiring minimal problem-solving.
Spec1.05d Radians: arc length s=r*theta and sector area A=1/2 r^2 theta
