Problem
The diagram shows a sector ABC of a circle with centre A and radius r cm. The angle BAC is α radians, where 0<α<21π.
(a) It is given that the area of the triangle ABC is 4 cm2 and the area of the sector ABC is 8α cm2.
Find the exact area of the shaded segment.
[4]
(b) It is given instead that the length of the chord BC is 21r cm but the area of the triangle ABC is still 4 cm2.
Find the area of the shaded segment. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

图中显示了一个圆心为 A、半径为 r cm 的扇形 ABC。角 BAC 为 α 弧度,其中 0<α<21π。
(a) 已知三角形 ABC 的面积为 4 cm2,扇形 ABC 的面积为 8α cm2。
求阴影弓形面积的精确值。

解答
(a)
解法一
思路

先用扇形面积确定 r2,再用三角形面积确定锐角 α。弓形面积等于扇形减三角形。

The sector area satisfies 21r2α=8α. As α>0, r2=16. The triangle area gives 21(16)sinα=4, so sinα=21. Since α is acute, α=6π. The shaded area is
8⋅6π−4=(34π−4) cm2.
(b)

弦长给出了等腰三角形的三边比例,可用余弦定理求角。再用固定的三角形面积求 r2。

The cosine rule gives
2r2=r2+r2−2r2cosα,
so cosα=43 and sinα=47. Since the triangle area is 4,
21r2⋅47=4⟹r2=732.
The shaded area is therefore
716cos−1(43)−4≈0.371 cm2
to three significant figures.
