We know that, formula for the area of the sector of a circle
Area of the sector =
Area of the segment = Area of the sector - Area of the corresponding triangle
Length of the arc = 2r

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 = 2r
= 60°/360° 2 22/7 21
= 22 cm
(ii)Area of the sector =
Area of the sector AOBP=
= 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
= 441 cm2
Area of the segment = (231 - 441 )cm2
