Q4(ii):
A chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre. Find the area of the corresponding : (ii) major sector. (Use $\pi = 3.14$)
Solution :
Given:
Radius of the circle ($r$) = $10\text{ cm}$
Angle subtended by the chord at the centre ($\theta$) = $90^\circ$
Value of $\pi$ = $3.14$
To Find:
Area of the major sector.
Step 1: Calculate the area of the entire circle.
The formula for the area of a circle is $A = \pi r^2$.
$A = 3.14 \times (10)^2$
$A = 3.14 \times 100$
$A = 314\text{ cm}^2$
Step 2: Calculate the area of the minor sector.
The formula for the area of a sector with angle $\theta$ is $\text{Area} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$.
$\text{Area}_{\text{minor}} = \frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 314$
$\text{Area}_{\text{minor}} = \frac{1}{4} \times 314$
$\text{Area}_{\text{minor}} = 78.5\text{ cm}^2$
Step 3: Calculate the area of the major sector.
The area of the major sector is the difference between the area of the circle and the area of the minor sector.
$\text{Area}_{\text{major}} = \text{Area}_{\text{circle}} - \text{Area}_{\text{minor}}$
$\text{Area}_{\text{major}} = 314 - 78.5$
$\text{Area}_{\text{major}} = 235.5\text{ cm}^2$
Alternative Method (Using the reflex angle):
The angle of the major sector is $360^\circ - 90^\circ = 270^\circ$.
$\text{Area}_{\text{major}} = \frac{270^\circ}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$
$\text{Area}_{\text{major}} = \frac{3}{4} \times 314$
$\text{Area}_{\text{major}} = 3 \times 78.5 = 235.5\text{ cm}^2$
Final Answer: The area of the major sector is 235.5 cm².

I have taught my two sons when they were in class 10. They manged to clear the IIT JEE exam in 1st attempt. I teach by example, which helps the students to visualize the concepts and ideas. I believe in participative learning where the student also gives their viewpoints. This is how they start enjoying the subject and their performance level increases automatically.
