What is the formula for the length of an arc?
length (l) = radius (r) x angle subtended at centre, measured in radians (θ)
What is the formula for the area of a sector in a circle?
A = 1/2 r^2 θ
Only works in radians
What is the formula for the length of a chord of a circle?
AB = r √(2(1-cosθ))
What is the formula for the area of a chord in a circle?
1/2 r^2 (θ - sinθ)
What are the 3 small angle approximations?
sinθ ≈ θ
cosθ ≈ 1 - 1/2 θ^2
tanθ ≈ θ
