Question

draw circle of radius 3.2 CM draw a chord ab of the circle such that AB = 5 cm . shade the minor segment of the circle

Answer 1

Given,

The radius of the circle = 3.2 centimetres

Length of the chord of the circle = 5 centimetres

To find,

Construction of the circle and then shading the minor segment of the circle.

Solution,

1. Draw a straight line of the length 3.2 centimetres by the help of a scale and name the straight line as OX.
2. Now, take the measurement of OX straight line by the help of a compass. And draw a circle by keeping the stationary pin of the compass,on the O point. The formed circle will have the OX straight line as the radius of the circle (3.2 centimetres).
3. Now, draw a point anywhere on the circumference of the circle. (Except on the location of point O and point X.) Name this new point as point A.
4. Then, take the measurement of 5 centimetres in the compass and draw an arc on the circumference of the circle, by keeping the stationary pin of the compass on the point A. Name this new point as B.
5. Join point A and point B. The straight line AB will be the chord of the circle with the length of 5 centimetres.
6. Atlast, shade the smaller segment below the chord AB. ( Shaded in red colour in the diagram below).

Hence, the circle is formed with necessary region shading.

Answer 2

1. Draw a circle, taking centre as O and radius = 3.2 cm

2. Take a point A on the circle

3. Taking A as centre and radius = 5 cm, draw an arc to meet the circle at point B

4. Now, join AB and shade the minor segment of the circle
