Section outline

  • If a circle with a marked radius is turned a bit, the area enclosed by the two radii looks like a pizza slice or a wedge of pie, this is called a sector of the circle. Hence, a sector of a circle is a region bounded by an arc of the circle and the two radii to the endpoints of the arc, where the smaller area (shaded portion) is known as the minor sector and the larger being the major sector .
    ::如果一个带有标记半径的圆圈被转小一点,则两个半径所包围的区域看起来像一个披萨切片或馅饼,这称为圆圈的一个区块,因此,一个圆圈的一个区块是圆弧的区域,两个半径与弧的终点交界,较小的区域(阴影部分)被称为小区块,较大的区域是主要区块。

    Because a sector is two dimensional, you can calculate its area. The area of a whole circle with radius  r is π r 2 . The area of a sector represents a fraction of this whole circle area . The measure of the central angle helps to tell you what fraction of the circle the sector is. In the problems below, you will show that Sector Area = r 2 θ 2 , where  r is the radius of the circle and  θ is the measure of the central angle in radians.
    ::由于一个扇区是二维的, 您可以计算其区域。 一个半径为 r 的整圆区域是 r2 。 一个扇区的面积代表整个圆区的一部分。 中心角的测量有助于告诉您该扇区是哪一部分的圆。 在下面的问题中, 您将显示“ 扇区”= r2, 其中 r 是圆的半径, 是弧度中角的测量值。

    Thinking in radians, a full circle is  2 π radians. The sector is therefore  θ 2 π of the whole circle.
    ::以弧度计,整个圆圈为 2 弧度。 因此, 扇区是整个圆圈的 2 。

    ::2. 解释为何以下部门面积为r22, 其中是弧度中角的测量值。

    3. Find the area of the shaded sector below.
    ::3. 找出下面的阴影区。

    The angle is given in degrees, so first convert it to radians. Remember that 1   degree = ( π 180 ) radians . This means that 64 = 64 ( π 180 ) 1.12   radians
    ::角度以度表示, 所以先将其转换为弧度 。 记住 1 度= (180) radians 。 这意味着 64 64 ( 180) 1. 12 弧度

    Sector Area = r 2 θ 2 ( 3 2 ) ( 1.12 ) 2 5.03   in 2

    You make a 10″ diameter cheesecake for a party and coat the top in a layer of chocolate. You divide the cheesecake up into equal slices so that the central angle of each slice is 15 . How many square inches of chocolate are on each slice?
    ::你为聚会做一个直径 10 直径的芝士蛋糕, 把顶部涂上一层巧克力。 你将芝士蛋糕分成相等的切片, 这样每个切片的中心角是 15 。 每切片上有多少平方英寸的巧克力?

    The top of each slice covered in chocolate is a sector with radius 5 inches and a central angle of 15 . To find the area of the sector, first convert  15 to radians. Remember that 1   degree = ( π 180 ) radians . This means that 15 = 15 ( π 180 ) 0.26   radians .
    ::巧克力覆盖的每个切片的顶部是半径为5英寸、中心角为15英寸的区块。 要找到扇形区域, 请先将 15 英寸转换为弧度 。 请记住 1 度= (180) 弧度。 这意味着 15 15 ( 180) 0. 26 弧度 。
