Let us now take some examples to understand these concepts (or results).<br />

Example 2 : Find the area of the sector of a circle<br />

with radius 4 cm and of angle 30°. Also, find the area<br />

of the corresponding major sector (Use = 3.14).<br />

Solution : Given sector is OAPB (see Fig. 12.8).<br />

Area of the sector =<br />

=<br />
