Formula

The Circle Sector Perimeter Calculator uses the formula:

Sector perimeter = Radius × Central angle × 3.141592653589793 ÷ 180 + 2 × Radius

Worked example

For example, with radius of 5 and central angle of 90 degrees, the sector perimeter is 17.8540.

Inputs used
Radius 5
Central angle 90 degrees
Results
Sector perimeter 17.8540
Arc length 7.8540

Key terms explained

Perimeter
The total distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape.
Radius
The distance from the centre of a circle or sphere to its edge.

Frequently asked questions

Add the arc length to two radii. A radius of 5 and a 90-degree angle give a perimeter of about 17.85.

Arc = radius × angle in radians, which is radius × angle × π ÷ 180 when the angle is in degrees.

A sector is bounded by two straight radii and the curved arc, so all three are added.

The arc becomes the full circumference, and the two radii overlap, so it is effectively the whole circle.

The Circle Sector Perimeter Calculator uses the formula: Sector perimeter = Radius × Central angle × 3.141592653589793 ÷ 180 + 2 × Radius. For example, with radius of 5 and central angle of 90 degrees, the sector perimeter is 17.8540.
