In the diagram, O is the centre of the circle and sector angle COB is 120 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( " CB has arc length 4 π cm.
\n" ); document.write( " Also AC=AB. Find the area, in cm*2, of the shaded region.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the radius, the given arc = 4\"pi\" and is 1/3 the circumference therefore
\n" ); document.write( "\"2pi%2Ar+=+12pi\"
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by pi
\n" ); document.write( "2r = 12
\n" ); document.write( "r = 6 cm is the radius
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "draw the radius from A to 0 which gives us two equal isosceles triangles
\n" ); document.write( "Each of these triangle can be divided into two right triangles with angles of 60 degrees at the center.
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse of these triangles is the radius, 6 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Find the other two side of the right triangles using sine and cosine of 60 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "sin(60) = s1/6
\n" ); document.write( "s1 = 5.196 cm
\n" ); document.write( "cos(60) = s2/6
\n" ); document.write( "s2 = 3 cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the area of one of the right triangles
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"1%2F2\"5.196 * 3
\n" ); document.write( "A = 7.794 sq/cm
\n" ); document.write( "The shaded are consist of 4 right triangle, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "4 * 7.794 = 31.176 sq/cm is the shaded area which is B \"%2818%2Asqrt%283%29%29\"
