TopicRadians, Arc Length and Sector Area
TypeSector with attached triangle
DifficultyModerate -0.8 This is a straightforward multi-part question testing standard formulas for sector area (A = ½r²θ), triangle area (½absinC), and arc length (rθ). Part (a) is simple rearrangement, while parts (b)(i) and (b)(ii) require applying memorized formulas with minimal problem-solving. Easier than average for A-level.

\end{figure} Figure 1 shows the design for a badge.
The design consists of two congruent triangles, \(A O C\) and \(B O C\), joined to a sector \(A O B\) of a circle centre \(O\).
  • Angle \(A O B = \alpha\)
  • \(A O = O B = 3 \mathrm {~cm}\)
  • \(O C = 5 \mathrm {~cm}\)
Given that the area of sector \(A O B\) is \(7.2 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\)
  1. show that \(\alpha = 1.6\) radians.
  2. Hence find
    1. the area of the badge, giving your answer in \(\mathrm { cm } ^ { 2 }\) to 2 significant figures,
    2. the perimeter of the badge, giving your answer in cm to one decimal place.
