Title: Chapter 11: Areas Related to Circles - Mastery Guide Subject: Mathematics

(Class 10) Topics:


Sector and Segment of a Circle
Arc Length and Area Relationships
Area of Triangles in Circles (60°, 90°, 120°)
Areas of Inscribed and Composite Figures Summary: This study guide focuses
on calculating areas of various parts of a circle and their combinations with
other plane figures. It emphasizes the critical "Segment Area" logic, which
involves subtracting triangular areas from sectors, and explores specific
geometric configurations like inscribed triangles and clock-based problems.
Key Concepts:
The Segment Logic: To find the area of a minor segment, you must subtract
the area of the corresponding triangle from the area of the minor sector.
Angle-Triangle Relationship: Different central angles require different triangle
area formulas:

60°: Equilateral triangle ( 4

90°: Right-angled triangle ( 12 r2 )

Inscribed Shapes: An equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of radius r has a

side length of r 3. Its area is

Arc-Sector Relation: The area of a sector can be expressed as


A = 12 × Arc Length × r. Vocabulary List:
​

Sector: The region between two radii and the corresponding arc of a circle.
Segment: The region between a chord and its corresponding arc.
Arc: A part of the circumference of a circle.
Quadrant: A sector with a central angle of 90°, representing one-fourth of a
circle.
Subtend: To form an angle at a particular point (usually the center of the circle)
by a chord or arc. Key Questions:
Why is the area of a segment not equal to the area of the triangle formed by its
radii?
How do you calculate the side of an equilateral triangle if only the radius of its
circumcircle is given?
If a minute hand moves from 12:00 to 12:20, what is the central angle of the
sector it sweeps?
What is the relationship between the radius and the area of a quadrant?
