Step-by-step explanation:

Given, radius of circle, r = 20 cm

Corresponding angle, θ = 90°

We have to find the area of the corresponding major segment of the circle.

Area of major segment = area of circle - area of minor segment

Area of minor segment = area of sector - r² sinθ/2 cosθ/2

Area of sector = πr²θ/360°

= (3.14)(20)²(90°/360°)

= (3.14)(400)(1/4)

= (3.14)(100)

= 314 cm²

r² sinθ/2 cosθ/2 = (20)² sin(90°/2) cos(90°/2)

= 400 sin45° cos45°

= 400 (1/√2)(1/√2)

= 400/2

= 200 cm²

Area of minor segment = 314 - 200

= 114 cm²

Area of circle = πr²

= (3.14)(20)²

= (3.14)(400)

= 1256 cm²

Area of major segment = 1256 - 114

= 1142 cm²

Therefore, the area of the major segment is 1142 cm²
