    Areas of Sectors formed at the Vertices of a Triangle

    Objective
    To verify that sum of areas of three sectors of the same radii ‘r’ formed at the vertices of
    any triangle is πr2 by paper cutting and pasting.

    Prerequisite Knowledge

    1. Concept of different types of triangles.


    2. Definition of a sector.
    3. Area of circle = πr2, r → radius.

    Materials Required
    Glazed paper, sketch pens, fevicol, a pair of scissors, pencil, geometry box.

    Procedure

    1. Draw three different types of triangles on a glazed paper as shown in fig. (i).
    (i) Equilateral ∆ABC
    (ii) Isosceles ∆PQR
    (iii) Scalene ∆XYZ
    2. Cut an equilateral ∆ABC as shown in fig.(ii)

    3. Taking vertices A, B and C as centres of ∆ABC, draw three sectors of same radii r.

    4. Cut these three sectors and marked them as 1,2,3 and fill different colours.

    5. Draw a straight line and mark any point ‘O’ on it. Place three sectors 1,2, 3
    adjacent to each other so that the vertices A, B, C coincide with ‘O’ without leaving
    any gap as shown in fig. (v).

    6. The same process (steps 1-5) can be taken up with isosceles triangle and scalene
    triangle fig. (i).

    Observation
    The shape formed on the straight line is a semi circle
    ∴ area of circle = πr2
    ∴ area of semicircle = πr2

    Result
    It is verified that the sum of areas of three sectors of same radii ‘r’ formed at the vertices
    of any triangle is πr2.

    Learning Outcome
    The students are able to understand the concept of this activity through paper cutting. It
    is clear to them that a semicircle is always obtained, whatever be the type of a triangle.

    Activity Time

    1. Find the sum of areas of four sectors of same radii ‘r’ formed at the vertices (as
    centre) of any quadrilateral through activity.
    Hint:

    2. Find the sum of areas of five sectors of same radii ‘r’ formed at the vertices (as
    centre) of any pentagon through activity.

    Question 1.
    What is the angle subtended by a circle at centre ?
    Answer:
    360°
    Question 2.
    What is the sum of angles of four sectors of same radii ‘r’ formed at the vertices (as
    centre) at any quadrilateral ?
    Answer:
    360°

    Question 3.
    If the perimeter of semicircle is 12 cm, find its radius.
    Answer:
    cm

    Question 4.
    What is the area of a semicircle of radius 2 cm ?
    Answer:
    2π

    Question 5.
    Define a segment of a circle.
    Answer:
    A chord divides a circle in two parts each of which is called a segment of a circle.

    Question 6.
    What is the difference between a sector and a segment of a circle ?
    Answer:
    A sector of a circle is formed by an arc and two radii of the circle, while a segment is
    one of its part in which a chord divides a circle.

    Question 7.
    Define chords.
    Answer:
    A line segment joining two points on the circumference of a circle is known as a chord.

    “A tangent intersects the circle in more than one point”. Is the statement true or
    false ?
    Answer:
    False
