Step-by-step solution

8 steps

Here are the solutions to your questions:

Part a· 2 steps

State the special name of the triangle AOB.

  1. Identify the sides of triangle AOB.

    OA and OB are radii of the circle.
    The problem states that the chord AB is equal in length to the radius.
    Therefore, OA=OB=ABOA = OB = AB.

  2. Name the triangle based on its sides.

    A triangle with all three sides equal in length is an equilateral triangle.
    The special name of triangle AOB is an equilateral triangle.

Part b

∠AOB=60∘\angle AOB = 60^\circ

Find the value of ∠AOB\angle AOB.

  1. Use the property of an equilateral triangle.

    Since triangle AOB is an equilateral triangle (from part a), all its interior angles are equal to 60∘60^\circ.
    Therefore, ∠AOB=60∘\angle AOB = 60^\circ.

    ∠AOB=60∘\boxed{\angle AOB = 60^\circ}

Part c

∠ACB=30∘\angle ACB = 30^\circ

Find the value of ∠ACB\angle ACB.

  1. Relate the angle at the center to the angle at the circumference.

    The angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.
    Here, ∠AOB\angle AOB is the angle at the center subtended by arc AB, and ∠ACB\angle ACB is the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc AB.
    So, ∠AOB=2×∠ACB\angle AOB = 2 \times \angle ACB.

  2. Calculate ∠ACB\angle ACB.

    We found ∠AOB=60∘\angle AOB = 60^\circ in part b.

    60∘=2×∠ACB60^\circ = 2 \times \angle ACB ∠ACB=60∘2\angle ACB = \frac{60^\circ}{2} ∠ACB=30∘\angle ACB = 30^\circ ∠ACB=30∘\boxed{\angle ACB = 30^\circ}

Part d

L=7.33 cm (to 2 decimal places)L = 7.33 \text{ cm (to 2 decimal places)}

If the radius of the circle is 7cm, calculate the length of the minor arc AB. (Take π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}).

  1. Identify the given values and the formula for arc length.

    Radius, r=7r = 7 cm.
    Angle subtended by arc AB at the center, θ=∠AOB=60∘\theta = \angle AOB = 60^\circ (from part b).
    π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}.
    The formula for the length of an arc is L=θ360∘×2πrL = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r.

  2. Substitute the values into the formula.

    L=60∘360∘×2×227×7 cmL = \frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \text{ cm}
  3. Simplify the expression.

    L=16×2×22 cmL = \frac{1}{6} \times 2 \times 22 \text{ cm} L=13×22 cmL = \frac{1}{3} \times 22 \text{ cm} L=223 cmL = \frac{22}{3} \text{ cm} L=713 cmL = 7\frac{1}{3} \text{ cm} L=7.33 cm (to 2 decimal places)\boxed{L = 7.33 \text{ cm (to 2 decimal places)}}
