A chord of a circle radius 12 cm subtends angle of 120° at the centre. Find the area of tge Corresponding segment of the circle.
(Use π=3.14 and √3= 1.73)
Answers
Answer:
segment angle anywhere is half of angle on centre in circle
120/2=60 degree
Step-by-step explanation:
As the horse is tied at one end of a square field, it will graze only a quarter (i.e. sector with θ = 90°) of the field with radius 5 m.
Here, the length of rope will be the radius of the circle i.e. r = 5 m
It is also known that the side of square field = 15 m
(i) Area of circle = πr2 = 22/7 × 52 = 78.5 m2
Now, the area of the part of the field where the horse can graze = ¼ (the area of the circle) = 78.5/4 = 19.625 m2
(ii) If the rope is increased to 10 m,
Area of circle will be = πr2 =22/7×102 = 314 m2
Now, the area of the part of the field where the horse can graze = ¼ (the area of the circle)
= 314/4 = 78.5 m2
∴ Increase in the grazing area = 78.5 m2 – 19.625 m2 = 58.875 m2
