Definitions [2]
Sector of a circle
Region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc.
Minor sector
Sector with angle < 180°.
Major sector
Sector with angle > 180°.
Angle of major sector = 360° − angle of minor sector.

Segment of a circle
Region enclosed by a chord and the corresponding arc.
Minor segment
A smaller region formed by the chord.
Major segment
The remaining larger region of the circle.

Formulae [10]
\[\text{Area of sector}=\frac{\theta}{360}\times\pi r^2\]
\[\text{Length of arc}=\frac{\theta}{360}\times2\pi r\]
Area of minor segment = Area of sector − Area of triangle
\[A(\text{minor segment})=\frac{\theta}{360}\pi r^2-\frac{1}{2}r^2\sin\theta\]
That is,
A(major segment) = πr2 − A(minor segment)
Let radii r1 > r2, height h, slant height l
-
Slant height: l = \[\sqrt{h^2+(r_1-r_2)^2}\]
-
Curved surface area of a frustum: πl(r1 + r2)
-
Total surface area of a frustum: πl(r1 + r2) + πr12 + πr22
-
Volume: \[\frac{1}{3}\]πh(r12 + r22 + r1 × r2)
-
Curved surface area = 2πr2
-
Total surface area of a solid hemisphere = 3πr2
-
Volume = \[\frac{2}{3}\]πr3
-
Slant height l =\[\sqrt{h^2+r^2}\]
-
Curved surface area = πrl
-
Total surface area = πr(r + l)
-
Volume = \[\frac{1}{3}\] × πr2h
Cube (side = a)
-
Lateral surface area = 4a2
-
Total surface area = 6a2
-
Volume = a3
-
Lateral surface area = 2h(l + b)
-
Total surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
-
Volume = lbh
-
Curved surface area = 2πrh
-
Total surface area = 2πr(r + h)
-
Volume = πr2h
-
Surface area = 4πr2
-
Volume = \[\frac{4}{3}\]πr3
Key Points
Definition: A segment is a region of a circle bounded by a chord and its arc
Two Main Types:
-
Minor Segment = smaller piece
-
Major Segment = larger piece
Semicircle Special Case:
-
Formed when chord = diameter
-
Creates two perfectly equal segments
-
Each semicircle = half the circle's area
