Annular Sector Area Calculator (A = θ(R²−r²)/2)
This calculator computes the annular sector area: exact formula A = θ(R²−r²)/2, worked example R = 8, r = 5, θ = 60° → 20.42 cm².

How the annular sector area Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula A = (θ/2)·(R² − r²), θ in radians. Worked example: R = 8 cm, r = 5 cm, θ = 60° = 1.0472 rad → A = 20.42 cm². Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in square units (m², ft², cm²); full precision is kept until the final rounding. All side lengths must share one unit or the area comes out scaled wrongly.
