Q) Find the length of the arc of a circle which subtends an angle of 60° at the centre of the circle of radius 42 cm. Ans: Since the length of an arc with angle θ, L = 2 π r x here, r = 42 cm, θ = 600 ∴ L = = 2 […]

Q) The minute hand of a clock is 14 cm long. Find the area on the face of the clock described by the minute hand in 5 minutes. Ans: Step 1: ∵ Angle subtended by minute hand in full one hour or 60 mins = 3600 ∴ Angle subtended by minute hand in 5 mins
Q) AB is a chord of a circle centred at O such that ∠AOB=60˚. If OA = 14 cm then find the area of the minor segment. (take √3 =1.73) Ans: Let the chord AB cut the circle in 2 parts. Sector APB is minor segment and AQB is major one. Now in △AOB, radius
Q) The minute hand of a wall clock is 18 cm long. Find the area of the face of the clock described by the minute hand in 35 minutes. Ans: ∵ Angle subtended by minute hand in full one hour or 60 mins = 3600 ∴ Angle subtended by minute hand in 35 mins =
