Q.

A chord is subtending an angle of 90° at the centre of a circle of radius 14 cm. Find the area of the corresponding minor segment of the circle.


Ans.

(56)

Area of minor segment = Area of minor sector - Area of triangle

=14πr2-12×14×14

=14×227×14×14-98=(154-98)=56

Hence, area of minor segment = 56 cm2
