The
length of the arc AB of the circle is 9π cm.
Angle AOB is θ radians and is 3 times angle OBA.
The diagram shows an isosceles triangle AOB and a
sector OCDEO of a circle with centre O. The
line AB is a tangent to the circle. Angle AOB = 1.8
radians and the radius of the circle is 12 cm.
(i) Show that the distance AC = 7.3 cm to 1 decimal
place.
(ii) Find the perimeter of the shaded region.
(iii) Find the area of the shaded region.
The points D, E, F and G lie on an arc of a circle centre
C, radius r cm. The points D and G are the midpoints
of CA and CB respectively. Angles DCE and FCG are
each θ radians. The area of the shaded region is 5
cm2.
(i) By first expressing θ in terms of r, show that the
perimeter, P cm, of the shaded region is
8
given by P = 4r +
𝑟
(ii) Given that r can vary, show that the stationary
value of P can be written in the form
k√2 , where k is a constant to be found.
(iii) Determine the nature of this stationary value and
find the value of θ for which it occurs.
The figure shows a sector OAB of a circle, centre O,
radius 10 cm. Angle AOB = 2θ radians where
𝜋
0 < θ < . A circle centre C, radius r cm, touches the
2
arc AB at the point D. OA and OB are tangents to the
circle at the points E and F respectively.
(i) Write down, in terms of r, the length of OC.
10 sin θ
(ii) Hence show that r =
1+sin θ
𝑑𝑟 10
(iii) Given that θ can vary, find when r =
𝑑𝜃 3
(iv) Given that r is increasing at 2 cms–1, find the rate
at which θ is increasing when θ = π6
In the diagram AD and BE are arcs of concentric
circles centre O, where OA = 6 cm and
AB = 8 cm. The area of the region ABED is 32 cm2.
