Let us write perimeter and area of circular shaded sector below.

(i) Given: Radius of the circle = 12 cm and angle subtended by the arc = 90°
We know that the length of the arc![]()
⇒ Length of arc AB![]()
Length of AB:
∵ ∠ O = 90°
Using Pythagoras theorem,
OA2 +OB2 = AB2
⇒ 122 + 122 = AB2
⇒ AB2 = 288
⇒ AB=12√2 cm
⇒ AB =16.92 cm
Perimeter of the circular shaded sector = Length of arc AB + length of AB
⇒ Perimeter of the circular shaded sector=18.857 + 16.92 =35.777 cm
Now, Area of the segment AB = area of sector ABO – area of triangle ABO
We know that the area of the minor sector![]()
⇒ Area of ABO ![]()
⇒ Area of ABO = 113.14 cm2
In ∆ABO,
∠ O = 90°, AO = BO = 12 cm {radius of the circle}
![]()
![]()
⇒ Area of ∆ABO = 72 cm2
∴Area of the segment AB = area of sector ABO – area of triangle ABO
⇒Area of the segment AB = 113.14 – 72
⇒ Area of the segment AB = 41.14 cm2
(ii) Given: Radius of the circle = 42 cm and angle subtended by the arc = 60°
We know that the length of the arc![]()
⇒ Length of arc ![]()
Length of AC:
In ∆ABC,
∠ B = 60°, AB = BC = 42 cm {radius of the circle}
⇒∠ ABC = ∠ ACB {angles opposite to equal sides are equal}
By the angle sum property of the triangle,
∠ BAC + ∠ ACB + ∠ B = 180°
⇒ 2∠ BAC = 180° - 60°
⇒∠ BAC = 60°
Hence, ∆ ABC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ AC = 42 cm
Perimeter of the circular shaded sector = Length of arc AC + length of AC
⇒ Perimeter of the circular shaded sector = 42 + 44 = 86 cm
Now, Area of the segment AC = area of sector ACB – area of triangle ACB
We know that the area of the minor sector ![]()
⇒ Area of ACB =![]()
⇒ Area of ACB = 924 cm2
We know that
Area of a equilateral triangle
where a is the side of it.
![]()
⇒ Area of ∆ABC = 763.83cm2
∴Area of the segment AC = area of sector ABC – area of triangle ABC
⇒ Area of the segment AC = 924 – 763.83
⇒ Area of the segment AC = 160.17 cm2
