Sectors, Segments and Arcs
Part of: Sectors, Segments and Arcs
A sector is bounded by two radii and their arc. A segment lies between a chord and its arc. Major and minor parts complement the full circle.
Why it matters. These relationships help calculate curved lengths and circular regions used in design and measurement.
Try it in two minutes
- Identify the radius and central angle.
- Choose area, circumference or segment relationships.
- Check whether the question asks for a minor or complementary major part.
Try at home. Draw a circle and shade one sector, then mark its matching central angle and the complementary region.
Sector Area and Arc Length
Part of: Sector Area and Arc Length
For central angle θ in degrees and radius r, sector area is θ/360 times πr², while arc length is θ/360 times 2πr.
Why it matters. These relationships help calculate curved lengths and circular regions used in design and measurement.

Try at home. Draw a circle and shade one sector, then mark its matching central angle and the complementary region.
Applying Circle Area Relationships
Part of: Applying Circle Area Relationships
The full circle area and circumference provide the whole quantities from which sectors, arcs and complementary major regions are calculated.
