The formula

A sector is a fraction of the whole circle, whose area is πr². So sector area = (angle ÷ 360°) × πr², or ½r²θ with the angle θ in radians.

For a radius of 10 and an angle of 60°: (60 ÷ 360) × π × 10² = 52.36.

Perimeter of the sector

The edge of a sector is the arc plus two radii: (angle ÷ 360°) × 2πr + 2r. Only need the curved part? Use the arc length calculator.
