Worked solution

2(a)(i)

1. Apply the arc length formula to find the angle in radians.

Arc length AB=15AB = 15 cm and radius OA=12OA = 12 cm.

Using s=rθs = r\theta,

15=12θ15 = 12\theta

θ=1512=1.25\theta = \frac{15}{12} = 1.25

Answer

θ=1.25\theta = 1.25 radians

2(a)(ii)

1. Find the area of sector OAB using the angle from part (i).

Using θ=1.25\theta=1.25 radians and radius 1212 cm,
Area of sector OAB=12r2θ=12(12)2(1.25)=90 cm2.\text{Area of sector }OAB=\frac12 r^2\theta=\frac12(12)^2(1.25)=90\text{ cm}^2.

2. Find the area of triangle OAC.

Since CC lies on OBOB, ∠AOC=∠AOB=1.25\angle AOC=\angle AOB=1.25 radians.
Area of △OAC=12(12)(8)sin⁡1.25=45.55… cm2.\text{Area of }\triangle OAC=\frac12(12)(8)\sin 1.25=45.55\ldots\text{ cm}^2.

3. Subtract the triangle area from the sector area to get the shaded area.

Shaded area=90−45.55…=44.44… cm2.\text{Shaded area}=90-45.55\ldots=44.44\ldots\text{ cm}^2.

2(a)(iii)

1. Find the straight boundary length $CB$.

Since OO, CC and BB are collinear,

CB=OB−OC=12−8=4 cmCB=OB-OC=12-8=4\text{ cm}.

2. Find $AC$ using the cosine rule in triangle $AOC$.

In △AOC\triangle AOC, OA=12OA=12, OC=8OC=8 and ∠AOC=1.25\angle AOC=1.25 radians.

AC2=122+82−2(12)(8)cos⁡1.25AC^2=12^2+8^2-2(12)(8)\cos 1.25

AC=122+82−2(12)(8)cos⁡1.25AC=\sqrt{12^2+8^2-2(12)(8)\cos 1.25}

AC=12.143… cmAC=12.143\ldots\text{ cm}

3. Add all boundary lengths of the shaded region.

Perimeter of shaded region

=arc AB+CB+AC=\text{arc }AB+CB+AC

=15+4+12.143…=15+4+12.143\ldots

=31.143… cm=31.143\ldots\text{ cm}

≈31.1 cm\approx 31.1\text{ cm}

Answer

31.1 cm31.1\text{ cm}

2(b)(ii)

1. Use the angle at the centre theorem for chord $DB$.

From part (i), ∠DAB=70∘\angle DAB = 70^\circ.

Since ∠DAB\angle DAB is the angle at the circumference standing on arc DBDB, and ∠DOB\angle DOB is the angle at the centre standing on the same arc,
∠DOB=2×∠DAB=2×70∘=140∘.\angle DOB = 2\times \angle DAB = 2\times 70^\circ = 140^\circ.

Answer

140∘140^\circ

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),
∠DOB=140∘\angle DOB = 140^\circ.

Since the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference standing on the same chord DBDB,
∠DAB=140∘2=70∘.\angle DAB=\frac{140^\circ}{2}=70^\circ.

2. Use opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral and the parallel lines to find $\angle ODC$.

In cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD,
∠DCB=180∘−∠DAB=180∘−70∘=110∘.\angle DCB=180^\circ-\angle DAB=180^\circ-70^\circ=110^\circ.

Since DO∥CBDO\parallel CB, the angle between DCDC and DODO is supplementary to the angle between DCDC and CBCB:
∠ODC=180∘−110∘=70∘.\angle ODC=180^\circ-110^\circ=70^\circ.

Answer

70∘70^\circ
