Question

The radius of a circle with centre O is 5 cm (Fig . 15.84). Two radii OA and OB are drawn at right angles to each other. Find the areas of the segments made by the chord AB (Take π = 3.14).

Answer 1

We have given that the radius of the circle is 5 cm.

First we will find the area of the minor segment AB as given below,

Substituting the values we get,

Now we will calculate the area of the major segment AB as given below,

Therefore, areas of the minor and major segments are respectively.
