TopicRadians, Arc Length and Sector Area
TypeSector perimeter calculation
DifficultyModerate -0.8 This is a straightforward application of standard radian conversion and sector formulas with no problem-solving required. All three parts involve direct substitution into memorized formulas: converting degrees to radians (100π/180), perimeter = 2r + rθ, and area = ½r²θ. The calculations are routine with clearly given values.
Spec1.05d Radians: arc length s=r*theta and sector area A=1/2 r^2 theta

1 The diagram shows a sector \(O A B\) of a circle with centre \(O\) and radius 9 cm . The angle \(A O B\) is \(100 ^ { \circ }\).
  1. Express \(100 ^ { \circ }\) in radians, giving your answer in exact form.
  2. Find the perimeter of the sector \(O A B\).
  3. Find the area of the sector \(O A B\).
