Question

find the area of segment of circle which makes ang angle is 60 degree and center of diameter having 14cm​

Answer 1

Giventhat−

thecentralangle∠AOBofasector=60

o

andtheradius=14cm.

Tofindout−

theareaofthecorrespondingminorsegment.

Solution−

InΔAOBwehaveOA=OB.

∴∠OAB=∠OBA⟹∠OAB+∠OBA=2∠OABor2∠OBA.

Now∠AOB=60

o

.

∴2∠OAB=180

o

−60

o

⟹∠OAB=60

o

=∠OBA.
