Detailed Solution

A chord of a circle of radius 30 cm   makes an angle of 60 0   at the center of the circle.
The area of the major segment is 2744.7 c m 2  .
Given: r=30cm   and θ= 60 0  
Consider the following figure-
Question ImageArea of triangle with angle θ= 1 2 ( side ) 2 sin θ  
where, θ   is the sector angle.
Here, AOB= 60 0  , area of sector OACBO   is-
= 60 360 ×π r 2   = 1 6 ×3.14×30×30   =471c m 2  
Area of ΔAOB   is-
= 1 2 r 2 sin θ   = 1 2 ×30×30× sin 60 °   =225×1.732   =389.7c m 2   Area of sector of a circle having an angle θ   = θ 360 π r 2  
where, r   is the radius of the circle and θ   is the sector angle.
Area of the minor segment is-
= Area of the sector OACBO (Area ofΔAOB)   =471389.7   =81.3c m 2  
Now, area of the major segment is-
= Area of the circle    Area of the minor segment  
=3.14×30×3081.3   =2744.7c m 2   Hence, 2744.7c m 2   is the required area.
