Problem 255
255
The diagram shows a circle C with centre O and radius 3 cm. The radii OP and OQ are extended to S and R respectively so that ORS is a sector of a circle with centre O. Given that PS = 6 cm and that the area of the shaded region is equal to the area of circle C,
show that angle POQ = \frac{1}{4}\pi radians,
find the perimeter of the shaded region.
Solution
(i) The area of circle C is \(\frac{1}{2} \times 3^2 \pi = \frac{9}{2} \pi\).
The area of the sector ORS is \(\frac{1}{2} \times 9^2 \theta - \frac{1}{2} \times 3^2 \theta\).
