Q4 of 68 Page 15

A chord 10cm long is drawn in a circle whose radius is cm. Find area of both the segments.

Length of chord = 10cm


Radius of circle =


(This triangle POQ satisfy Pythagoras theorem)


= PQ2 = PO2 + OQ2



= 100 = 50 + 50


So,


Angle AOQ = 90°


Area of sector =


Area of triangle POQ =


Area of minor segment =
