An arc of a circle of radius $\displaystyle 21$ cm subtends an angle of $\displaystyle 60$° at the centre. Find :(i)the length of the arc.(ii)the area of the minor segment of the circle made by the corresponding chord.
An arc of a circle of radius $\displaystyle 21$ cm subtends an angle of $\displaystyle 60$° at the centre. Find :
(i)
the length of the arc.
(ii)
the area of the minor segment of the circle made by the corresponding chord.
Marking-scheme solution
(i) Length of the arc \(\displaystyle \mathrm{AB}=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times \frac{60}{360}\)
\[=22 \mathrm{~cm}
\]
(ii) Area of sector OALB \(\displaystyle =\frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 21 \times \frac{60}{360}=231 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
\[\text { Area of } \Delta \mathrm{OAB}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 21 \times 21=\frac{441 \sqrt{3}}{4} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}
\]
\[\text { Area of minor segment }=\left(231-\frac{441 \sqrt{3}}{4}\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}
\]
\[\text { or }(231-190.95)=40.05 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}
\]
