Figure, shows a sector of a circle, centre O, containing an angle θ°. Prove that perimeter of the shaded region is `r(tan θ + sec θ + (πtheta)/180^circ - 1)`.


Given angle subtended at centre of circle = 𝜃
∠OAB = 90° [At joint of contact, tangent is perpendicular to radius]
OAB is right angle triangle
Cos 𝜃 =`(adj.side)/(hypotenuse) =r/OB`⇒ 𝑂𝐵 = 𝑟 sec 𝜃 … … (𝑖)
tan 𝜃 =`(opp.side)/(adju.side)=AB/r`⇒ 𝐴𝐵 = 𝑟 tan 𝜃 … … . (𝑖𝑖)
Perimeter of shaded region = AB + BC + (CA arc)
= 𝑟 tan 𝜃 + (𝑂𝐵 − 𝑂𝐶) +`theta/360^@`× 2𝜋𝑟
= 𝑟 tan 𝜃 + 𝑟 sec 𝜃 − 𝑟 +`(pithetar)/180^@`
= 𝑟 (tan 𝜃 + sec 𝜃 +`(pitheta)/180^@`− 1)
Figure, shows a sector of a circle, centre O, containing an angle 𝜃°. Prove that area of the shaded region is `r^2/2(tanθ - (πθ)/180^circ)`.

Area of shaded region = (area of triangle) – (area of sector)
`= (1/2× OA × AB) −theta/360^@× pir^2`
`=1/2× r × r tan theta −r^2/2[theta/180^@× pi]`
=`r^2/2[tantheta −(pitheta)/180^@]`
