Question
The areas of two sectors of two different circles with equal corresponding arc lengths are equal. Is this statement true? Why?
Solution
The statement is false because the area of a sector of a circle = `(1/2)"r"^2θ`, where r is the radius and θ the angle in radians subtended by the arc at the center of the circle.
It does not depend on the arc length.
