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 =
π r 2
=
(21) 2
=
x 21 x 21 = 22 x 21
= 462 cm2
Step 3: Area of Triangle =
x OA x OB x sin 1200
=
x 21 x 21 x ![]()
=
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
