Question

Identify the following parts of a circle in the adjoining figure : Minor sector

Answer 1

Finding the minor sector of the circle

Sector of a circle : The area enclosed by two radii of the circle and their connecting arcs is called sector of a circle .

Minor sector : A sector with a central angle less than $180°$ is called a minor sector of the circle.

In the given figure, there are two sets of the radii that is $\text{OA and OD, OB and OD}$ .

Hence, $\text{AOD , BOD}$ are the minor sectors of the circle of radii $\text{OA and OD, OB and OD}$ respectively.
