How to Calculate Sector Area
A sector is a pie-slice shaped portion of a circle surrounded by two radii edges and bounded by the circle’s outer arc.
To calculate the area of a sector, a simple formula can be used.
Sector Area Formula
The area of a sector can be found using the formula:
sector area = r² × θ2
Thus, a sector’s area is equal to the radius r squared times the central angle θ in radians, divided by 2.

For example, find the area of a sector with a radius of 12 and a central angle of 1.5 radians.
sector area = 12² × 1.52
sector area = 144 × 1.52
sector area = 2162
sector area = 108
Thus, the area of the sector is 108.
