Q) Find the area of the segment AYB shown in the figure, if the radius of the circle is 21 cm and angle AOB = 1200.

[Use π = 22/7]

Find the area of the segment AYB shown in the figure, if the radius of the circle is 21 cm and angle AOB = 120 deg . [Use pi = 22/7]

(Q 27 – 30/2/2 – CBSE 2026 Question Paper)

Ans:

Step 1: From the diagram, we can see that the area of segment AYB

= Area of Sector AOBY – Area of Triangle AOB

Step 2:  Area of Sector AOBY = (\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}) π r 2

= (\frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ}) (\frac{22}{7}) (21) 2

= (\frac{1}{3}) (\frac{22}{7}) x 21 x 21 = 22 x 21

= 462 cm2

Step 3: Area of Triangle = \frac{1}{2} x OA x OB x sin 1200

= \frac{1}{2} x 21 x 21 x \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

= \frac{441}{4} \sqrt{3} \approx 190.74 cm2

Step 4: Now, Area of Segment AYB

= Area of Sector AOBY – Area of Triangle AOB

= 462 – 190.74 = 271.26 cm2

Therefore, the area of Segment AYB is approx. 271.26 cm2
