Anyone can contribute an answer, even non-tutors.
calculate the area of the shaded region
ans: 30.2 but i keep getting weird numbers
∠CAB = ½π rad (angle in a semicircle)
∠PCA = ∠CBA = 0.6 rad (alternate segment theorem)
∠COA = 2∠CBA
(angle at centre = 2 x angle at circumference)
= 2 × 0.6 rad
= 1.2 rad
Radius = 10cm so diameter CB = 20cm
Area of segment AC
= area of sector COA - area of △COA
= ½r²θ - ½r² sinθ
Recall area of Sector formula is ½r²θ and area of triangle is ½ab sin c, but for the isosceles △COA, a = b = r and c = θ)
= ½r² (θ - sinθ)
= ½(10²)(1.2 - sin 1.2)
= 50(1.2 - sin 1.2)
= 60 - 50 sin 1.2
Since △CAB is right angled, apply trigo
sin 0.6 = opp/hyp = AC/CB = AC/20
AC = 20 sin 0.6
Since △CPA is also right angled
(since ∠CAP = π rad - ½π rad (angles on a straight line)), apply trigo too.
(In fact there are 3 similar right angled triangles in that diagram)
tan 0.6 = PA/AC
PA = AC tan 0.6
PA = 20 sin 0.6 tan 0.6
Area of shaded
= Area of △PAC - Area of segment AC
= ½ × PA × AC - (60 - 50 sin 1.2) cm²
= ( ½ × 20 sin 0.6 tan 0.6 × 20 sin 0.6 - 60 + 50 sin 1.2) cm²
≈ 30.225 cm²
= 30.2 cm² (3s.f)
