Sector area and fraction of circle

The sector area calculator finds the area of a circular sector from radius and central angle, showing what fraction of the full circle the sector represents.

Sector area formula

Area = (1/2) * r^2 * theta (radians). The fraction of the circle is theta / (2*pi). Arc length = r * theta.

Limitations

Angles should be between 0 and 360 degrees (0 to 2*pi radians).

Frequently asked questions

What fraction of a circle is a 90-degree sector?

One quarter (25%). 90/360 = 0.25.

How is sector area different from segment area?

A sector is a "pie slice" (bounded by two radii and an arc). A segment is the region between a chord and its arc.
