Q6:
A chord of a circle of radius 15 cm subtends an angle of 60° at the centre. Find the areas of the corresponding minor and major segments of the circle. (Use $\pi = 3.14$ and $\sqrt{3} = 1.73$)
Solution :
Given:
Radius of the circle ($r$) = $15\text{ cm}$
Angle subtended by the chord at the centre ($\theta$) = $60^\circ$
Constants: $\pi = 3.14$, $\sqrt{3} = 1.73$
To Find:
1. Area of the minor segment.
2. Area of the major segment.
Step 1: Calculate the Area of the Sector
The formula for the area of a sector is: $A_{sector} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$
$A_{sector} = \frac{60}{360} \times 3.14 \times (15)^2$
$A_{sector} = \frac{1}{6} \times 3.14 \times 225$
$A_{sector} = \frac{706.5}{6} = 117.75\text{ cm}^2$
Step 2: Calculate the Area of the Triangle (OAB)
Since the angle at the centre is $60^\circ$ and the two sides are radii ($OA = OB = 15\text{ cm}$), the triangle is equilateral. The area of an equilateral triangle is given by: $A_{triangle} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times r^2$
$A_{triangle} = \frac{1.73}{4} \times (15)^2$
$A_{triangle} = \frac{1.73}{4} \times 225$
$A_{triangle} = \frac{389.25}{4} = 97.3125\text{ cm}^2$
Step 3: Calculate the Area of the Minor Segment
The area of the minor segment is the difference between the area of the sector and the area of the triangle.
$A_{minor\_segment} = A_{sector} - A_{triangle}$
$A_{minor\_segment} = 117.75 - 97.3125 = 20.4375\text{ cm}^2$
Step 4: Calculate the Area of the Major Segment
The area of the major segment is the total area of the circle minus the area of the minor segment.
$A_{circle} = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times (15)^2 = 3.14 \times 225 = 706.5\text{ cm}^2$
$A_{major\_segment} = A_{circle} - A_{minor\_segment}$
$A_{major\_segment} = 706.5 - 20.4375 = 686.0625\text{ cm}^2$
Final Answer: The area of the minor segment is 20.4375 cm² and the area of the major segment is 686.0625 cm².

I am a freelance tutor at present. I taught in a coaching centre Vidyanext for students of CBSE & ICSE of classes IX & X for two years. I have teaching children of classes IX & X since last ten years online and also at my home. You can check my profile for the same. My teaching methodology would be to clear the concepts of the child, make the child practice and then test him on his concepts by giving worksheets. This methodology worked well even with dull students and almost all my students have scored and are scoring well in the board exams.
