True or false? To find the area of a sector, you multiply the area of the circle by the measure of the arc determined by the sector.

Answer: False.


Step to step explanation:-

We know that, the area of a sector [when the angle of the sector is given in degrees] is calculated by using a formula such that

Area of sector =
(\theta)/(360^(\circ))*\pi\ r^2, where
\theta is the angle subtended by the arc.

Therefore, To find the area of sector, you multiply the area of the circle by fraction of angle subtended by arc to 360°.

Thus, the given statement is false.
