Answer

The radius

5cm

Diameter

10cm

Circumference

31.4159cm

Area

78.5398cm²

Arc length (90°)

7.854cm

Area of sector (90°)

19.635cm²

How to work it out

  1. 1r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5 cm
  2. 2O = 2 · π · r = 31.4159 cm
  3. 3A = π · r² = π · 5² = 78.5398 cm²
  4. 4Arc = 90° / 360° · 31.4159 = 7.854 cm
  5. 5Crop = 90° / 360° · 78.5398 = 19.635 cm²

The formula

d = 2 · r

The diameter is twice the radius.

O = π · d = 2 · π · r

π (pi) ≈ 3.14159 — the ratio between circumference and diameter in every circle.

A = π · r²

bue = v/360 · O · udsnit = v/360 · A

A sector with the angle v is v/360 of the whole circle.
