Math Problem Statement

Find the length of the straight line AD, the area of the sector of the circle (centre A) bounded by the lines AB and AD and the arc BCD, the area of the triangle OAD, and the area of the segment ADE.

Solution

The diagram depicts a circle with center OO, and several points and lines marked, including AA, BB, CC, and DD. Additionally, it refers to angles θ\theta and radii rr. The image has some related questions, which I'll solve step by step.

Let's begin with each question:

1. The length of the straight line AD:

  • The line ADAD is a radius of the circle since OO is the center of the circle. Thus, the length of ADAD is the radius of the circle, rr.

2. The area of the sector of the circle (center A) bounded by the lines AB and AD and the arc BCD:

  • The sector mentioned is centered at AA and subtended by the angle θ\theta. The formula for the area of a sector is: Area of sector=12r2θ\text{Area of sector} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta where θ\theta is the angle in radians.

3. The area of the triangle OAD:

  • The triangle OADOAD is a right triangle with angle θ\theta at AA, and both OAOA and ODOD are radii of the circle.
    • Area of triangle OADOAD is: Area of triangle=12r2sin(θ)\text{Area of triangle} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin(\theta)

4. The area of the segment ADE:

  • The segment ADEADE is part of the circle minus the triangle OADOAD. The formula for the area of a circular segment is: Area of segment=12r2(θsin(θ))\text{Area of segment} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 (\theta - \sin(\theta))
