The measure of central angle XYZ is 1.25 radians.





Smaller circle C is inside larger circle C. The smaller circle is labeled the garden. The radius of the smaller circle is 8 feet. The distance from the rim of the inner circle to the rim of the outer circle is 3 feet.
In the figure, angle ZYX is measured in degrees. The area of the shaded sector can be determined using the formula .

The diagram shows one way to develop the formula for the area of a circle. Pieces of a circle with radius r are rearranged to create a shape that resembles a parallelogram.
