Area of Sector

Theorem
Let $\mathcal C = ABC$ be a circle whose center is $A$ and with radii $AB$ and $AC$.

Let $BAC$ be the sector of $\mathcal C$ whose angle between $AB$ and $AC$ is $\theta$.

Then the area $\mathcal A$ of sector $BAC$ is given by:
 * $\mathcal A = \dfrac {r^2 \theta} 2$

where:
 * $r = AB$ is the length of the radius of the circle
 * $\theta$ is measured in radians.
