We will calculate the area of sector APC, then calculate the area of ΔCOP and subtract it from the sector and that will leave the area of OCA. Go here: http://www.algebra.com/tutors/students/your-answer.mpl?question=1189421 where I have already calculated ∠APC = 0.6290064738 radians. The formula for a sector is where θ is in radians. So the area of the sector APC is Now we'll find the area of ΔCOP by Heron's formula: } where s represents the semi-perimeter. The perimeter = CO+OP+CP = 12+11+19 = 42 The semi-perimeter is half of that or s = 21. } } } } Subtracting the area of ΔCOP from the area of the sector APC, we get } cm2. Edwin
