Find the area of a quadrant of a circle

Find the area of a quadrant of a circle whose circumference is 22 cm?


1 Answer


Circumference of the circle = 22 cm (given)

It should be noted that a quadrant of a circle is a sector that is making an angle of 90°.

Let the radius of the circle = r

As C = 2πr = 22,

R = 22/2π cm = 7/2 cm

∴ Area of the quadrant = (θ/360°) × π r2

Here, θ = 90°

So, A = (90°/360°)×π r2cm2

= (49/16) πcm2

=77/8cm2=9.6cm2
