Derive arc length and sector area formulas using similarity; define radians and convert degrees/radians.

Find sector area from a radius and a central angle in degrees by converting the angle to radians

Problem

Find sector area for radius \(6\) and central angle \(60^{\circ}\).

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

The radian sector-area formula cannot take a degree measure directly, so the angle unit must be handled before any substitution. We’ll convert the central angle with a unit-canceling factor, preserve the squared radius and one-half factor, and check the area as the same fraction of the full circle.
