BC is an arc of a circle with centre A and radius 80 cm . Angle \(\mathrm { CAB } = \frac { 2 \pi } { 3 }\) radians.
EC is an arc of a circle with centre D and radius \(r \mathrm {~cm}\). Angle CDE is a right angle.
- Calculate the area of sector ABC .
- Show that \(r = 40 \sqrt { 3 }\) and calculate the area of triangle CDA.
- Hence calculate the area of cross-section of the rudder.
