Where is the degree measure for the arc of a sector of a circle, the ratio of the area of the sector to that of the area of the circle is given by . Use this ratio to explain whythe area of the sector is given by .[Note: In the figure, the sector with arc measure is bounded by radii , , and .]

What will be an ideal response?


Given that , it follows that . Where r is the length of radius of the circle, the area of the circle is given by . By substitution, it follows that

.
