INTRODUCTION
In earlier classes, we have studied methods of finding perimeters and areas of simple plane figures such as rectangles, squares, parallelograms, triangles and circles. In our daily life, we come across many objects which are related to circular shape in some form or the other. For example, cycle wheels, wheel arrow, drain cover, bangles, flower beds, circlular paths etc. That is why the problem of finding perimeters and areas related to circular figures is of great practical importance. In this chapter, we shall discuss problems on finding the areas of some combinations of plane figures involving circles or parts of circles. Let us first recall the concepts related to their perimeter and area of a circle.


HISTORICAL FACTS
Mensuration is that branch of mathematics which studies the method of measurements. Measurment is a very important human activity. We measure the length of a cloth for stitching. The area of a wall for painting, the perimeter of a plot for fencing. We do many other measurements of similar nature in our daily life. All these measurements, we shall study in this capter called Mensuration.
π(pi) occupies the most significant place in measurement of surface area as well as volume of various solid and plane figures. The value of π is not exactly known. The story of the accuracy by which the value of ? was estimated is an interesting one.

RECALL
(A) Circle : Circle is the locus of a point which moves in such a manner that its distance from a fixed point O remains constant (the same). The fixed point is called the centre O and the constant distance OA is called its radius.

(B) Chord : A line segment joining two points on a circle is called a chord of the circle. In fig, AB and CD are
two chords of the circle.

(C) Diameter : A chord passing through the centre of the circle is called the diameter. In fig, AOB and COD are diameter of the circle i.e., the diameter is the largest chord of the circle.

Length of diameter = Twice the radius = 2 × r = AOB = COD

(D) Circumference : The perimeter of the circle or the length of boundary of the circle is called its circumference i.e. the distance covered by travelling once around a circle is called the perimeter or circumference. The circumference of a circle is given by 2πr. It is well-known fact that the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter bears a constant ratio.

(E) Arc : Any part of a circle is called an arc of the circle. Two points A and B on a circle divides it into two
arcs. In general one arc is greater than other. The smaller arc is called minor arc and greater arc is called
major arc.

The shaded segment containing the minor arc is called a minor segment, while the unshaded segment containing the major arc is called the major segment.

fig OACBO is a sector of the circle with centre O.

FAQs on Areas Related to Circles, Class 10, Maths Detailed Chapter Notes

1. What is the formula to find the circumference of a circle?
Ans. The formula to find the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle.
2. How can I find the area of a sector of a circle?
Ans. To find the area of a sector of a circle, you can use the formula A = (θ/360) × πr^2, where A is the area, θ is the central angle of the sector, and r is the radius of the circle.
3. What is the relationship between the radius and diameter of a circle?
Ans. The diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius. In other words, the radius is half of the diameter. Mathematically, we can express this relationship as d = 2r, where d is the diameter and r is the radius.
4. Can the circumference of a circle be greater than its area?
Ans. No, the circumference of a circle cannot be greater than its area. The circumference of a circle is the distance around it, while the area is the measure of the region enclosed by the circle. Since the circumference is directly proportional to the radius, while the area is proportional to the square of the radius, the area will always be greater than or equal to the circumference.
5. How can I find the length of an arc in a circle?
Ans. To find the length of an arc in a circle, you can use the formula L = (θ/360) × 2πr, where L is the length of the arc, θ is the central angle of the arc, and r is the radius of the circle.
