Problem
A plot of land OAB is in the shape of a sector of a circle with centre O.
Given
- OA=OB=5 km
- angle AOB=1.2 radians
(a) find the perimeter of the plot of land.
(2)
A point P lies on OB such that the line AP divides the plot of land into two regions R1 and R2 as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2
Given that
area of R1=3×area of R2
(b) show that the area of R2=3.75 km2.
(3)

扇形周长等于两条半径加弧长。弧长公式是 rθ,其中 θ 要用弧度。
答题过程

The arc length AB is
rθ=5(1.2)=6.
So the perimeter is
5+5+6=16.
Therefore the perimeter is
16 km.

先求整个扇形面积。若 R1 的面积是 R2 的 3 倍,那么整个扇形面积就是 4 份,其中 R2 占 1 份。
答题过程
展开
The area of the sector is
21r2θ==21(52)(1.2)15.
Since
area of R1=3×area of R2,
the whole sector is made of 4 equal parts of size area of R2.
Therefore
area of R2==41(15)3.75 km2.
This is the required result.

R2 就是三角形 OAP,它的两条边 OA 和 OP 夹角为 1.2。先用三角形面积公式求 OP,再在三角形 OAP 中用余弦定理求 AP。
答题过程
展开
Since R2 is triangle OAP,
21(5)(OP)sin1.2=OP=OP=3.752.5sin1.23.751.6093….
Using the cosine rule in triangle OAP,
AP2==52+(1.6093…)2−2(5)(1.6093…)cos1.221.758….
So
AP=4.6646… km.
To the nearest 100 m,
AP=4.7 km.

也可以从点 P 向 OA 作垂线。三角形 OAP 的面积可以先给出垂直高度,再用直角三角形求 AP。这种路线避开了余弦定理,但要小心角的位置。
答题过程

Let X be the foot of the perpendicular from P to OA.
Since the area of triangle OAP is 3.75,
21(5)(PX)=PX=3.751.5.
In the right triangle OPX,
tan1.2=OX=OXPXtan1.21.5.
Therefore
AX===OA−OX5−tan1.21.54.4164….
Now use Pythagoras in triangle APX:
AP2===AX2+PX2(4.4164…)2+1.5221.758….
So
AP=4.6646… km.
To the nearest 100 m,
AP=4.7 km.
