TopicRadians, Arc Length and Sector Area
TypeSector area calculation
DifficultyModerate -0.8 This is a straightforward application of standard sector formulas (Area = ½r²θ and arc length = rθ) with minimal problem-solving required. Students simply substitute given values and rearrange, making it easier than average for A-level but not trivial since it requires correct formula recall and unit awareness (radians).
Spec1.05d Radians: arc length s=r*theta and sector area A=1/2 r^2 theta

\includegraphics{figure_1} The diagram shows the sector \(OAB\) of a circle of radius 9.2 cm and centre \(O\). Given that the area of the sector is 37.4 cm\(^2\), find to 3 significant figures
  1. the size of \(\angle AOB\) in radians, [2]
  2. the perimeter of the sector. [2]

The diagram shows the sector $OAB$ of a circle of radius 9.2 cm and centre $O$.

Given that the area of the sector is 37.4 cm$^2$, find to 3 significant figures

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item the size of $\angle AOB$ in radians, [2]
\item the perimeter of the sector. [2]
\end{enumerate}
