Q=AB is the diameter of a circle,center O .C is a point on the circumference such that /-COB=a.The area of minor segment cut off by AC is equal to twice the area of the sector BOC. Prove that
sin a/2 cos a/2 =pie(1/2- a/120)
Let the radius of the circle be r.
Area of the sector BOC =
∠AOC = (180° – a) ... (Linear pair)
Area of the minor segment cut off by the chord AC
= Area of the sector AOC – Area of ΔAOC
Given, Area of the minor segment cut off the chord AC = 2 × Area of the sector BOC
