What is a sector?
a2 + b2 = c2 in a right-angled triangle,
with c on the longest side.
Part of a circle, like a slice of pizza.
How do you work out angles

When do you use sine?
When do you use cosine?
When you are given or are finding
the hypotenuse and the side opposite
the angle.
When you are given or are finding the
hypotenuse and the side next to the angle.
How do you work out areas of sectors?
How do you work out surface area?
You find the fraction of the whole circle
using the angle and it is the same fraction
of πr².
Add up the areas of all the shapes on

1. In addition to those in Warm up slide question 4, some suggestions include:
– The length of the arc of the semi-circle
– The perimeter of the triangle
2. and 3.
AO
= √(8.5² – 4²)
= 7.5 cm
Area of triangle
=  × 8 × 7.5
= 30 cm²
Area of semi-circle
=  × π × 4²
= 25.13 cm²
Total area
= 30 + 25.13
= 55.13 cm²
