(a)
(b)
(c)

In the diagram above, AXB is an arc of a circle centre O and radius 10 cm with ∠AOB = 0.82 radian. AYB is an arc of a circle centre P and radius 5 cm with ∠APB = θ.
Calculate:
Calculate:
(a) the length of the chord AB,
(b) the value of θ in radians,
(c) the difference in length between the arcs AYB and AXB.
Solution:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Using s = rθ
Arcs AXB = 10 × 0.82 = 8.2 cm
Arcs AYB = 5 × 1.848 = 9.24 cm
Difference in length between the arcs AYB and AXB
= 9.24 – 8.2
= 1.04 cm

Question 9:
In diagram 5, AOBDE, is a semicircle with centre O and has radius of 5cm. ABC is a right angle triangle.


It is given that
[Use π = 3.142]
Calculate
(a) the value of θ, in radians, [2 marks]
(b) the perimeter, in cm, of the segment ADE, [3 marks]
(c) the area, in cm2, of the shaded region BCDF. [5 marks]Solution:
(a)
(b)
∠AOD = 3.142 – (0.4678 × 2)
= 2.206 rad
Length of arc AED = 5 × 2.206
= 11.03 cm
Therefore, perimeter of the segment ADE
= 11.03 + 8.8935
= 19.924 cm
(c)
BC = √ AC2 – AB2
= √11.20352 – 102
= 5.052 cm
