Question

Identify the following parts of the adjoining figure : Major Sector

Answer 1

Finding the sector of the circle

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

Major sector : A sector with a central angle greater than $180°$ is called a major sector .

In the given question there are two major sectors because there are two sets of radii $\text{OA and OD , OB and OD}$

The area $\text{BODACB}$ is the major sector by the radii $\text{OB and OD}$ .

The area $\text{ACBDOA}$ is the major sector by the radii $\text{OA and OD}$ .
