In the given figure, the length of arc AB is equal to twice the length of radius r of the circle. Find the area of sector OAB in terms of the radius r. |
3r 2r πr2 r2 |
r2 |
We know that, l = r × θ Area of an arc = \(\frac{ θ }{360 }\) × πr2 According to the question, Length of the arc AB = 2r Here, we have length of the arc = 2r = l = r × θ = 2r = r × θ = θ = 2 Area of the sector = \(\frac{ θ }{360 }\) × πr2 = \(\frac{ 2 }{360 }\) × 180 × r2 = r2 |
