Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the central angle of a sector that subtends an arc length of 15 cm in a circle with radius 10 cm. Show your working.
[2 marks]
2.
A sector has a central angle of 60° in a circle of radius 12 cm. Find the area of the sector.
[3 marks]
3.
If a sector's area is 50 cm² and the radius of the circle is 10 cm, what is the measure of the central angle? Show your working.
[3 marks]
4.
A student mistakenly uses the entire circle's area when calculating the sector's area. Identify the error and explain how to correct it.
[3 marks]
5.
Construct a sector with a radius of 9 cm and a central angle of 90°. Calculate the area of the sector and verify your result by drawing.
[4 marks]
6.
A sector with radius 15 cm has an area of 157.08 cm². What is the central angle? Show your working.
[3 marks]
7.
A student claims that doubling the radius doubles the area of the sector. Is this correct? Justify your answer.
[2 marks]
8.
A sector with a central angle of 45° in a circle with radius 20 cm has an area of approximately 44.2 cm². Identify any error in this statement and correct it.
[3 marks]
9.
A sector's central angle is 120° and radius is 8 cm. Calculate the sector's area and verify whether the area is correct based on your calculations.
[3 marks]
10.
In a circle, a sector has an arc length of 20 cm and radius 5 cm. What is the central angle? Show your working.
[2 marks]
11.
Identify and correct the mistake in this calculation: 'Sector area = (central angle/360) × π × r²; using central angle 90° and radius 10 cm, the area is 25π cm².'
