A chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre. Find the area of the minor segment. [Use π = 3.14.]

Given the radius of the circle = 42 cm


 


Central angle of the sector = θ = 90°


 


Area of the minor segment = Area of sector – area of the right angle triangle


 



 



 



 



 



 


Area of the sector = 25×3.14


 


Area of the sector = 78.5 cm2 eqn1


 



 



 


Area of triangle = 50 cm2 eqn2


 


Area of the minor segment = 78.5 – 50 (from eqn1, eqn2)


 


Area of the minor segment = 28.5 cm2


 


Area of the minor segment is 28.5 cm2.
