Worked solution
2(a)(i)
1. Apply the arc length formula to find the angle in radians.
Arc length cm and radius cm.
Using ,
radians
2(a)(ii)
1. Find the area of sector OAB using the angle from part (i).
Using radians and radius cm,
2. Find the area of triangle OAC.
Since lies on , radians.
3. Subtract the triangle area from the sector area to get the shaded area.
2(a)(iii)
1. Find the straight boundary length $CB$.
Since , and are collinear,
.
2. Find $AC$ using the cosine rule in triangle $AOC$.
In , , and radians.
3. Add all boundary lengths of the shaded region.
Perimeter of shaded region
2(b)(ii)
1. Use the angle at the centre theorem for chord $DB$.
From part (i), .
Since is the angle at the circumference standing on arc , and is the angle at the centre standing on the same arc,
2(b)(iii)
1. Use the previous central angle to get the angle at the circumference standing on the same chord $DB$.
From part (ii),
.
Since the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference standing on the same chord ,
2. Use opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral and the parallel lines to find $\angle ODC$.
In cyclic quadrilateral ,
Since , the angle between and is supplementary to the angle between and :
