1. Find the angles in triangle OAB.
Since OA and OB are radii of the circle, OA=OB=r.
Therefore, △OAB is an isosceles triangle, which means ∠OBA=∠OAB=θ.
The angle at the centre is ∠AOB=π−2θ.
2. Find the angle COB using parallel lines.
Given that OC is parallel to AB, OB acts as a transversal.
Using alternate interior angles, ∠COB=∠OBA=θ.
3. Calculate the area of the trapezium by summing the areas of triangle OAB and triangle OCB.
The area of the trapezium S is the sum of the areas of △OAB and △OCB.
Area of △OAB=21(OA)(OB)sin(∠AOB)=21r2sin(π−2θ)=21r2sin2θ
Area of △OCB=21(OC)(OB)sin(∠COB)=21r2sinθ
S=21r2sin2θ+21r2sinθ
S=2r2(sinθ+sin2θ) (shown)
答案S=2r2(sinθ+sin2θ)
