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.
