Q5 of 68 Page 15

A chord AB of a circle, of radius 14 cm makes an angle of 60° at the centre of the circle. Find the area of the minor segment of the circle.

Radius of circle = 14cm


Angle = 60°


Area of sector =


= 102.57cm2


Area of triangle OAB =




So,


Area of minor segment = 102.57 – 84.77 = 17.80cm2
