Figure 1 shows the cross-section ABCD of a chocolate bar, where AB, CD and AD are straight lines and M is the mid-point of AD. The length AD is 28 mm, and BC is an arc of a circle with centre M.
Taking A as the origin, B, C and D have coordinates (7, 24), (21, 24) and (28, 0) respectively.
- Show that the length of BM is 25 mm. [1]
- Show that, to 3 significant figures, \(\angle BMC = 0.568\) radians. [3]
- Hence calculate, in mm², the area of the cross-section of the chocolate bar. [5]
Given that this chocolate bar has length 85 mm,
- calculate, to the nearest cm³, the volume of the bar. [2]
