O is the centre of a circle. Angle AOB is a right angle and chord AB = 10cm. Find the radius of the circle (2dps) and calculate the exact value of the shaded area if pi = 3.
-----------
The bisector of AB thru O --> 2 isosceles right triangle. Label the midpoint of AB point D, the intersection with the distal side of the circle F, and the near side of the circle E.
--
OD = 5 cm
DF = r + 5
DE = r - 5
---
AB*BD = DF*DE
5*5 = (r+5)*(r-5)
r^2 - 25 = 25
r^2 = 50
r = 5sqrt(2) cm
-----------------
idk where the shaded area is.
I do know pi <> 3, despite what the bible says.
