Question
A chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre of the circle. Find the area of the corresponding minor segment. [Use π=3.14]
Solution
1
Area of minor segment ACB = Area of sector OACB − Area of right △OAB
+0.5 marks2
Area of sector OACB =36090×3.14×10×10=78.5 cm2
+1 mark3
Area of right △OAB=21×10×10=50 cm2
+0.5 marks4
Area of minor segment ACB =78.5−50=28.5 cm2
