Problem 259
259
The diagram shows a sector of a circle with centre O and radius 20 cm. A circle with centre C and radius x cm lies within the sector and touches it at P, Q, and R. Angle POR = 1.2 radians.
(i) Show that x = 7.218, correct to 3 decimal places.
(ii) Find the total area of the three parts of the sector lying outside the circle with centre C.
(iii) Find the perimeter of the region OPSR bounded by the arc PSR and the lines OP and OR.
Solution
(i) From the diagram, we have OQ = x + OC = 20. Using trigonometry in the right triangle, we have:
