Ans. (i)Here, = 10 cm and

Area of minor sector =

= =

Area of OAB =

= =

Area of minor segment = Area of minor sector – Area of OAB

= 78.5 – 50 =

(ii) For major sector, radius = 10 cm and

5. In a circle of radius 21 cm, an arc subtends an angle of at the centre. Find:

(i) the length of the arc.

(ii) area of the sector formed by the arc.

(iii) area of the segment formed by the corresponding chord.

Ans. Given, = 21 cm and

(i) Length of arc =

= = 22 cm

(ii) Area of the sector =

= =

(iii) Area of segment formed by corresponding chord

= Area of OAB

Area of segment = 231 – Area of OAB……….(i)

In right angled triangle OMA and OMB,

OM = OB[Radii of the same circle]

OM = OM [Common]

OMA OMB [ RHS congruency]

AM = BM[By CPCT]

M is the mid-point of AB and AOM = BOM

AOM = BOM

= AOB =

Therefore, in right angled triangle OMA,

OM = cm

Also,

AM = cm

AB = 2 AM = = 21 cm

Area of OAB =

= =

Using eq. (i),

Area of segment formed by corresponding chord =

6. A chord of a circle of radius 15 cm subtends an angle of at the centre. Find the area of the corresponding segment of the circle.

Ans. Here, = 15 cm and

Area of minor sector=

=

=

For, Area of AOB,

Draw OMAB.

In right triangles OMA and OMB,

OA = OB[Radii of same circle]

OM = OM[Common]

OMA OMB [RHS congruency]

AM = BM[By CPCT]

AM = BM = AB and

AOM = BOM = AOB =

In right angled triangle OMA,

OM = cm

Also,

AM = cm

2 AM = = 15 cm

AB = 15 cm

Area of AOB =

= =

= =

Area of minor segment = Area of minor sector – Area of AOB

= 117.75 – 97.3125 = c

And, Area of major segment = Area of minor segment

= 706.5 – 20.4375 =

7. A chord of a circle of radius 12 cm subtends an angle of at the centre. Find the area of the corresponding segment of the circle.

Ans. Here, = 15 cm and

Area of corresponding sector=

=

=

For, Area of AOB,

Draw OMAB.

In right triangles OMA and OMB,

OA = OB[Radii of same circle]

OM = OM[Common]

OMA OMB [RHS congruency]

AM = BM[By CPCT]

AM = BM = AB and

AOM = BOM = AOB =

In right angled triangle OMA,

OM = 6 cm

Also,

AM = cm

2 AM = = cm

AB = cm

Area of AOB =

= =

= =

Area of corresponding segment = Area of corresponding sector – Area of AOB

= 150.72 – 62.28 =

(i) the area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze.

(ii) the increase in the grazing area if the rope were 10 m long instead of 5 cm.

Ans. (i)Area of quadrant with 5 m rope

=

= =

(ii) Area of quadrant with 10 m rope

=

= =

The increase in grazing area

= 78.5 – 19.625

=

(i) the total length of the silver wire required.

(ii) the area of each sector of the brooch.

Ans. (i)Diameter = 35 mm

Radius = mm

Circumference = =

= 110 mm……….(i)

Length of 5 diameters = = 175 mm……….(ii)

Total length of the silver wire required

= 110 + 175 = 285 mm

For, Area of AOB,

Draw OMAB.

In right triangles OMA and OMB,

OA = OB[Radii of same circle]

OM = OM[Common]

OMA OMB [RHS congruency]

AM = BM[By CPCT]

AM = BM = AB and AOM = BOM = AOB =

In right angled triangle OMA,

OM = cm

Also,

AM = 14 cm

2 AM = = 28 cm

AB = 28 cm

Area of AOB =

= =

= =

Area of minor segment = Area of minor sector – Area of AOB
