On a circle of radius r, a central angle of radians subtends an arc of length s = _______; the area of the sector formed by this angle θ is A = ________.
Added by Dolores S.
Step 1
To find the length of the arc, we use the formula s = rθ, where r is the radius and θ is the central angle in radians. Therefore, s = rθ. Show more…
