a chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre. find the following.

  • area of minor sector
  • area of miner segment 
  • area of major segment 

(use phai=3.14)

Hi!
 
Let AB be the chord of circle of radius 10 cm. Let O be the centre of the circle.
Area of minor segment = area of sector AOB – area of ΔAOB = 78.57 – 50 = 28.57 cm2
Area of major segment = area of circle – area of minor circle
= πr2 – 28.57
= 314.28 – 28.57
= 285.71 cm2
 
 
Cheers!
