Answer:
ANSWER
In the mentioned figure,
O is the centre of circle,
AB is a chord
AXB is a major arc,
OA=OB= radius =21 cm
Arc AXB subtends an angle 60

iii) Area of segment (Area of Shaded region) = Area of sector AOB− Area of △AOB
By trigonometry,
AC=21sin30
OC=21cos30
And, AB=2AC
∴ AB=42sin30=41×
