NCERT Class X Chapter 11: Areas Related To Circles Question: A chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre. Find the area of the corresponding: (i) minor segment (ii) major sector. (Use π = 3.14) Given: Radius of circle, \( r = 10 \) cm Angle subtended by chord at centre, \( \theta = 90^\circ \) \( \pi = 3.14 \) To Find: (i) Area of the minor segment (ii) Area of the major sector Formula: Area of sector of angle \( \theta \) = \( \displaystyle \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \pi r^2 \) Area of triangle (when two sides and included angle known) = \( \displaystyle \frac{1}{2} ab \sin \theta \) Area of segment = Area of sector − Area of triangle Solution: Step 1: Find the area of the sector with angle \( 90^\circ \). $$ \text{Area of sector} = \frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times (10)^2 = \frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times 100 = 78.5 \ \text{cm}^2 $$ Step 2: Find the area of the triangle formed by ...
