Detailed Solution

We know that,  formula for the area of the sector of a circle

Area of the sector = θ3600 × πr2

 Area of the segment  = Area of the sector - Area of the corresponding  triangle

Length of the arc = θ3600 × 2πr

 

In a circle of radius 21 cm, an arc subtends an angle of \\[{60^\\circ}\\]  at the centre. Find(i) The length of the arc(ii) Area of the sector formed  by the arc(iii) The

Here, r = 21 cm, θ = 60°

Area of the segment APB = Area of sector AOPB - Area of ΔAOB

(i) Length of the arc APB = 

Length of the arc APB  = θ3600 × 2πr

= 60°/360° × 2 × 22/7 × 21

= 22 cm

(ii)Area of the sector = θ3600 × πr2

Area of the sector AOBP= θ3600 × πr2

= 60°/360° × 22/7 × 21 × 21

= 231 cm2

 (iii) Area of the segment  = Area of the sector - Area of the corresponding  triangle:

Area of the corresponding  triangle AOB = 1/2 × AB ×OM = 1/2 × r ×32

= 441 34 cm2

Area of the segment = (231 -  441 34 )cm2
