Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles  View Answer

Ans: Here, radius t(r) = 14 cm and  Sector angle (θ) = 60°
∴ Area of the sector
Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles

= 102.67 cm2
Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles
Since ∠O = 60° and OA = OB = 14 cm
∴ AOB is an equilateral triangle.
⇒ AS = 14 cm and ∠A = 60°
Draw OM ⊥ AB.
In ΔAMO

Now,
Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles
Now, area of the minor segment= (Area of minor sector) - (ar ΔAOB)
= 102.67 - 84.87 cm2 
= 17.8 cm2
Area of the major segment
= Area of the circle - Area of the minor segment  
Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles

= (616 - 17.8) cm= 598.2 cm2

Let O be the centre of the circle. So. OA = OB = AB = 1 cm
So ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.
∴ ∠AOB = 60°

∴  Required area = 8 x area of one segment with r = 1 cm,θ = 60°

= 8 x  (area of sector - area of ΔAOB)

FAQs on Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles

1. How to find the area of a circle when only the radius is given?
Ans. To find the area of a circle when only the radius is given, you can use the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle.
2. What is the relationship between the area of a circle and its circumference?
Ans. The area of a circle is related to its circumference through the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area, r is the radius, and π is a constant value. The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.
3. How to 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) x πr^2, where A is the area of the sector, θ is the central angle in degrees, and r is the radius of the circle.
4. What is the difference between the area of a circle and the area of a sector?
Ans. The area of a circle refers to the total space enclosed by the circle, calculated using the formula A = πr^2. On the other hand, the area of a sector of a circle is the portion of the circle enclosed by a central angle, calculated using the formula A = (θ/360) x πr^2.
5. Can the area of a circle be negative?
Ans. No, the area of a circle cannot be negative as it represents a physical measurement of the space enclosed by the circle, which is always a positive value.
