Plane figures practice: sectors, transformations and constructions

For sectors, ask what fraction of the whole circle you have. For constructions, understand why each step works.

Arc length and sector area

Formulas (radius rr, central angle a∘a^\circ)
ℓ=2πr×a360,S=πr2×a360=12ℓr\ell = 2\pi r \times \frac{a}{360},\qquad S = \pi r^2 \times \frac{a}{360} = \frac{1}{2}\ell r

Example: radius 66 cm and angle 120∘120^\circ give arc length 4π4\pi cm and area 12π12\pi cm2^2.

Shaded areas

Write the shaded region as sums and differences of squares, sectors and triangles. Leave π\pi in the answer, for example 32π−6432\pi - 64.

Transformations

  • Translation: every point moves the same distance in the same direction.
  • Reflection in the yy-axis changes the sign of the xx-coordinate.
  • Rotation about the origin: 180∘180^\circ takes (a,b)(a, b) to (−a,−b)(-a, -b); 90∘90^\circ anticlockwise takes (a,b)(a, b) to (−b,a)(-b, a).

Basic constructions

  • Perpendicular bisector: equal circles centred at both ends; join the two intersections. It is the set of points equidistant from both ends.
  • Angle bisector: a circle centred at the vertex meets the sides; equal circles from those points meet on the bisector. It is the set of points equidistant from both sides.
  • Perpendicular from a point: a circle centred at the point meets the line twice; equal circles from those points give a second point on the perpendicular.
