Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A circle has a radius of 10 cm. Calculate the area of a sector with a central angle of 60°.
[3 marks]
2.
Find the measure of the central angle of a sector if the sector's area is 50 cm² and the circle's radius is 8 cm.
[3 marks]
3.
Construct a sector with a radius of 7 cm and a central angle of 45°. Shade the sector on the grid.
[2 marks]
4.
Calculate the length of the arc of a sector with a radius of 12 cm and a central angle of 90°. (Use π ≈ 3.14)
[3 marks]
5.
A circular garden has a radius of 15 meters. If a sector of 120° is sectioned off for planting, what is the area of this sector?
[4 marks]
6.
The central angle of a sector is 150°, and the radius of the circle is 9 cm. Find the area of the sector.
[3 marks]
7.
A sector of a circle has an area of 20 cm² and a radius of 5 cm. What is the measure of its central angle?
[3 marks]
8.
Identify the common mistake: A student calculates the sector area using the formula  imes ext{radius} imes ext{arc length} without dividing by 2. Explain and correct the error.
[4 marks]
9.
