Worked solution

1. Find the angles in triangle OAB.

Since OAOA and OBOB are radii of the circle, OA=OB=rOA = OB = r.
Therefore, △OAB\triangle OAB is an isosceles triangle, which means ∠OBA=∠OAB=θ\angle OBA = \angle OAB = \theta.
The angle at the centre is ∠AOB=π−2θ\angle AOB = \pi - 2\theta.

2. Find the angle COB using parallel lines.

Given that OCOC is parallel to ABAB, OBOB acts as a transversal.
Using alternate interior angles, ∠COB=∠OBA=θ\angle COB = \angle OBA = \theta.

3. Calculate the area of the trapezium by summing the areas of triangle OAB and triangle OCB.

The area of the trapezium SS is the sum of the areas of △OAB\triangle OAB and △OCB\triangle OCB.
Area of △OAB=12(OA)(OB)sin⁡(∠AOB)=12r2sin⁡(π−2θ)=12r2sin⁡2θ\triangle OAB = \frac{1}{2}(OA)(OB)\sin(\angle AOB) = \frac{1}{2}r^2\sin(\pi - 2\theta) = \frac{1}{2}r^2\sin 2\theta
Area of △OCB=12(OC)(OB)sin⁡(∠COB)=12r2sin⁡θ\triangle OCB = \frac{1}{2}(OC)(OB)\sin(\angle COB) = \frac{1}{2}r^2\sin \theta

S=12r2sin⁡2θ+12r2sin⁡θS = \frac{1}{2}r^2\sin 2\theta + \frac{1}{2}r^2\sin \theta
S=r22(sin⁡θ+sin⁡2θ)S = \frac{r^2}{2}(\sin \theta + \sin 2\theta) (shown)

Answer

S=r22(sin⁡θ+sin⁡2θ)S = \frac{r^2}{2} (\sin \theta + \sin 2\theta)
