and the perimeter or circumference is
A sector is a fraction of a circle.
To find the area of a sector, we just find that fraction of the area of a circle.

The sector to the right is a fraction
of the circle to the left so the the area of the sector is![]()
The curved part of the sector is
of the circumference of the circle but to find the perimeter of the sector we must add
(the radius of the circle is
) so the perimeter of the sector is![]()
If
and
the area of the sector is
and the perimeter is![]()
