[color=#000000]The following applet was designed to help you discover how to to calculate the [/color][color=#ff00ff][b]area of a sector[/b][/color][color=#000000]. [br]Use this applet as a "check", so to speak, for the examples you work out on today's warm-up. [br][br]Then answer the questions that appear below the applet. [/color]

[color=#000000][b]Questions: [/b] [br][br]1) How would you answer the question that appears on the right side of the applet? [br]2) What is the formula for the area of the polygon name you gave as a response to this question?[br][br]3) Substitute appropriate values (seen in the [/color][color=#ff00ff][b]sector[/b][/color][color=#000000] on the right) into this formula to help derive[br] the formula for the area of a sector. What do you get?[br][br]4) Does using this formula work to obtain the areas of the sectors asked in the questions on your[br] warm-up sheet? Try it out! [/color]
