Fig.15.17, shows a sector of a circle, centre O, containing an angle θ°. Prove that:

(i) Perimeter of the shaded region is


(ii) Area of the shaded region is



Angle subtend at centre of circle = θ


Angle OAB = 90°


(At point of contract, tangent is perpendicular to radius)


OAB is right angle triangle




Perimeter of shaded region = AB+ BC+(CA arc)





Area of shaded region = (area of triangle AOB) – (area of sector)
