In a circle of radius $35\text{ cm}$, an arc subtends an angle of $60^\circ$ at the centre. Find:
(i) the length of the arc
(ii) area of the sector formed by the arc
(iii) area of the segment formed by the corresponding chord
(Use $\pi = \frac{22}{7}, \sqrt{3} = 1.73$)
(i) Length of Arc
Radius $r = 35\text{ cm}$, $\theta = 60^\circ$:
$$l = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r = \frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 35$$
$$= \frac{1}{6} \times 220 = \frac{110}{3} \approx 36.67\text{ cm}$$
(ii) Area of Sector
$$\text{Area of Sector} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 35 \times 35$$
$$= \frac{1}{6} \times 3850 = \frac{1925}{3} \approx 641.67\text{ cm}^2$$
(iii) Area of Segment
Since $\theta = 60^\circ$ and $OA = OB = 35\text{ cm}$, $\triangle OAB$ is an equilateral triangle.
$$\text{Area of Equilateral } \triangle OAB = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} r^2 = \frac{1.73}{4} \times (35)^2 = \frac{1.73}{4} \times 1225 \approx 529.81\text{ cm}^2$$
$$\text{Area of Segment} = \text{Area of Sector} - \text{Area of } \triangle OAB$$
$$= 641.67 - 529.81 = 111.86\text{ cm}^2$$
$$(i)\; 36.67\text{ cm}, \quad (ii)\; 641.67\text{ cm}^2, \quad (iii)\; 111.86\text{ cm}^2.$$
