One important thing here is to realize that the angle is in degrees, and not radians, it changes completely the formula.

For the area of a sector we have:

[tex]A=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\pi r^2[/tex]

Where "θ" is the angle in degrees

And for the perimeter, we have the length of the arc, plus 2 times the radius, the length of the arch using degrees is

[tex]l=2\pi r\cdot\frac{\theta}{360}[/tex]

But we must add the radius 2 times, therefore the perimeter is

[tex]\begin{gathered} p=2r+2\pi r\cdot\frac{\theta}{360} \\ \\ p=2r\mleft(1+\frac{\pi\cdot\theta}{360}\mright) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the formulas are:

Area of a sector:

[tex]A=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\pi r^2[/tex]

Perimeter of a sector

[tex]p=2r+2\pi r\cdot\frac{\theta}{360}[/tex]

Attention! all formulas in degrees, so θ must be in degrees
