Powered by AITo convert 45 degrees into radians, you use the relationship 180° = π rad. Thus, 45° = 45 * (π/180) rad = π/4 rad. For a practical application, if you have a sector with radius r and angle θ in radians, the area A of the sector is A = 1/2 * θ * r². So if the radius is, for example, 4 cm, the area would be A = 1/2 * (π/4) * 4² = π/2 cm² .
First, calculate the arc length using the formula s = θr, where θ is the angle in radians and r is the radius. Here, s = 2 * 7 = 14 cm. The perimeter of the sector is then the sum of the arc length and the lengths of the two radius lines, which are 7 cm each. Therefore, the perimeter is 14 + 7 + 7 = 28 cm .
First, calculate the area of the entire circle or relevant sectors using formulas like A = πr² for circles or specific formulas for sectors. Subtract the areas of any known sectors or segments that are not part of the shaded region from the total, as per the document's example where you subtract the area of a triangle from a sector area to find the shaded area .
The cosine rule is primarily used to find missing sides or angles in non-right angled triangles. For area, the formula A = (1/2)ab * sin(θ) is used. While the sine function directly helps calculate areas through the sine of the included angle, the cosine rule provides necessary side or angle measures that might not be directly usable with sine-based formulas alone. This underscores the cosine rule's utility in structure identification and dimension verification .
Let the perimeter P = arc length s + 2r. Given the arc length s and perimeter P, rearrange the equation to solve for r: r = (P - s)/2. This formula derives from understanding the total perimeter involves twice the radius plus the arc length .
The area of a triangle with sides a, b and included angle θ is given by (1/2) * a * b * sin(θ). This formula is analogous to the area of a sector, which is A = 1/2 * θ * r², where θ is in radians. Both formulas involve the sine of an angle to express the area relative to the given dimensions, highlighting how trigonometry underlies area calculations in different geometries .
When tangents meet at a point outside the circle, they form a triangle with the radius of the circle. To find the shaded region's area, subtract the area of the triangle formed by the tangents and radius from the larger sector or circle area. The radius acts as one side of the triangle, and its length directly influences the shaded region by defining boundaries and dimensions .
The area of the sector is given by A = 1/2 * θ * r². For this problem, 15 cm² = 1/2 * θ * 5². Solving for θ, we get θ = (2 * 15)/(5²) = 30/25 = 1.2 radians .
First, convert the angle ∠AOB from degrees to radians using θ = degrees * (π/180). Then, compute the arc length using the formula s = θr, where θ is the angle in radians and r is the radius of the circle. This conversion is necessary because the standard formula uses radians .
When two sides and the included angle are known, you can use the cosine rule: c² = a² + b² - 2ab * cos(θ), where a and b are the known sides, θ is the included angle, and c is the unknown side. Substitute the known values into the formula to solve for c. This method provides a direct way to calculate the missing side length .
