Area of a Circle

A circle is a closed figure where every point on its boundary is at the same distance from the centre.

Key Terms

Centre
Radius
Diameter
Circumference

The area of a circle depends on its radius and represents the region enclosed by the circle.

Sector of a Circle

A sector is the region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc of a circle.

Types of Sectors

Major Sector
Minor Sector

The area of a sector depends on the central angle subtended by the arc.
