Homework Statement
A chord of a circle subtends an angle of θ radians at the centre of the circle. The area of the minor segment cut off by the chord is one eighth of the area of the circle. Prove that 4θ = π + 4 sin θ
Homework Equations
s = rθ
area of sector = 1/2 r2θ
area of minor segment = area of sector - area of triangle
= 1/2 r2θ - 1/2 ab sin θ
The Attempt at a Solution
1/2r22π x 1/8 = area of minor segment
area of minor segment = 1/2r2θ - 1/2 ab sin θ
1/2r22π x 1/8 = 1/2r2θ - 1/2 ab sin θ
well the problem is i don't know what is the value of ab
