Step-by-step solution

Let's solve each part of the problem.

Given:

  • Radius of the circle, r=9r = 9 cm
  • Angle subtended at the center, θ=85∘\theta = 85^\circ All answers should be to 1 decimal place (1.d.p).

Part a· 2 steps

The length of the chord

  1. Use the formula for the length of a chord.

    The length of a chord LL is given by L=2rsin⁡(θ2)L = 2r \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right).

    L=2×9×sin⁡(85∘2)L = 2 \times 9 \times \sin\left(\frac{85^\circ}{2}\right) L=18×sin⁡(42.5∘)L = 18 \times \sin(42.5^\circ)
  2. Calculate the value and round to 1 d.p.

    L=18×0.67559L = 18 \times 0.67559 L≈12.1606L \approx 12.1606 L≈12.2 cmL \approx 12.2 \text{ cm}

    The length of the chord is 12.2 cm\boxed{12.2 \text{ cm}}.

The length of the minor arc

  1. Use the formula for the length of an arc.

    The length of an arc SS is given by S=θ360∘×2πrS = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r.

    S=85∘360∘×2π(9)S = \frac{85^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi (9) S=85360×18πS = \frac{85}{360} \times 18\pi
  2. Calculate the value and round to 1 d.p.

    S=8520πS = \frac{85}{20} \pi S=4.25πS = 4.25\pi S≈4.25×3.14159S \approx 4.25 \times 3.14159 S≈13.3517S \approx 13.3517 S≈13.4 cmS \approx 13.4 \text{ cm}

    The length of the minor arc is 13.4 cm\boxed{13.4 \text{ cm}}.

Area of the sector formed

  1. Use the formula for the area of a sector.

    The area of a sector AsectorA_{sector} is given by Asector=θ360∘×πr2A_{sector} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2.

    Asector=85∘360∘×π(9)2A_{sector} = \frac{85^\circ}{360^\circ} \times \pi (9)^2 Asector=85360×81πA_{sector} = \frac{85}{360} \times 81\pi
  2. Calculate the value and round to 1 d.p.

    Asector=1772×81πA_{sector} = \frac{17}{72} \times 81\pi Asector=17×98πA_{sector} = \frac{17 \times 9}{8} \pi Asector=1538πA_{sector} = \frac{153}{8} \pi Asector=19.125πA_{sector} = 19.125\pi Asector≈19.125×3.14159A_{sector} \approx 19.125 \times 3.14159 Asector≈60.089A_{sector} \approx 60.089 Asector≈60.1 cm2A_{sector} \approx 60.1 \text{ cm}^2

    The area of the sector formed is 60.1 cm2\boxed{60.1 \text{ cm}^2}.

The area of the minor segment

  1. Calculate the area of the triangle formed by the radii and the chord.

    The area of the triangle AtriangleA_{triangle} is given by Atriangle=12r2sin⁡θA_{triangle} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin \theta.

    Atriangle=12(9)2sin⁡(85∘)A_{triangle} = \frac{1}{2} (9)^2 \sin(85^\circ) Atriangle=12×81×sin⁡(85∘)A_{triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times 81 \times \sin(85^\circ) Atriangle≈40.5×0.99619A_{triangle} \approx 40.5 \times 0.99619 Atriangle≈40.3457 cm2A_{triangle} \approx 40.3457 \text{ cm}^2
  2. Subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the sector.

    The area of the minor segment AsegmentA_{segment} is Asegment=Asector−AtriangleA_{segment} = A_{sector} - A_{triangle}.

    Asegment≈60.089−40.3457A_{segment} \approx 60.089 - 40.3457 Asegment≈19.7433A_{segment} \approx 19.7433 Asegment≈19.7 cm2A_{segment} \approx 19.7 \text{ cm}^2

    The area of the minor segment is 19.7 cm2\boxed{19.7 \text{ cm}^2}.

The area of the major segment

  1. Calculate the total area of the circle.

    The area of the circle AcircleA_{circle} is given by Acircle=πr2A_{circle} = \pi r^2.

    Acircle=π(9)2A_{circle} = \pi (9)^2 Acircle=81πA_{circle} = 81\pi Acircle≈81×3.14159A_{circle} \approx 81 \times 3.14159 Acircle≈254.469 cm2A_{circle} \approx 254.469 \text{ cm}^2
  2. Subtract the area of the minor segment from the area of the circle.

    The area of the major segment Amajor_segmentA_{major\_segment} is Amajor_segment=Acircle−Aminor_segmentA_{major\_segment} = A_{circle} - A_{minor\_segment}.

    Amajor_segment≈254.469−19.7433A_{major\_segment} \approx 254.469 - 19.7433 Amajor_segment≈234.7257A_{major\_segment} \approx 234.7257 Amajor_segment≈234.7 cm2A_{major\_segment} \approx 234.7 \text{ cm}^2

    The area of the major segment is 234.7 cm2\boxed{234.7 \text{ cm}^2}.
