Question

A brooch is made with silver wire in the form of a
circle with diameter 35 mm. The wire is also used in
making 5 diameters which divide the circle into 10
equal sectors as shown in Fig. 12.12. Find :
(i) the total length of the silver wire required.
(ii) the area of each sector of the brooch.​

Diameter (D) = 35 mm

Total number of diameters to be considered= 5

Now, the total length of 5 diameters that would be required = 35×5 = 175

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

Or, C = πD = 22/7×35 = 110

Area of the circle = πr2

Or, A = (22/7)×(35/2)2 = 1925/2 mm2

(i) Total length of silver wire required = Circumference of the circle + Length of 5 diameter

= 110+175 = 185 mm

(ii) Total Number of sectors in the brooch = 10

So, the area of each sector = total area of the circle/number of sectors

∴ Area of each sector = (1925/2)×1/10 = 385/4 mm2
