Question Number 204873 by necx122 last updated on 29/Feb/24
The figure below represents a design  on the windows of a building. The  curved part XY is an arc of a circle.  The rise of the segmental arc is 10cm,  its span is 100cm and XZ=ZY=120cm.  calculate:  (i) the radius of the circle  (ii) the area of the segmental cap,  correct to 2 significant figures.  (iii) the total area of the design, correct  to 3 significant figures.

Construct the perpendicular bisector of XY,  then Z and O,centre of circle, lie on it.  R^2 =50^2 +(R−10)^2 ⇒R^2 =50^2 +R^2 −20R+100  ⇒20R=2600⇒R=130cm  100^2 =2×130^2 −2×130^2 cosXOY  ⇒cosXOY=((119)/(169))⇒sinXOY=((120)/(169))  ⇒Area of sector=((sin^(−1) (((120)/(169))))/(360))×130^2 π≈6671.9699  Area of XOY=65×130×((120)/(169))=6000  ⇒Area of segmental arc≈671.9699cm^2   ⇒Total area of design≈60×120×((5(√(119)))/(72))−671.9699  500(√(119))−671.9699≈4782.389  [100^2 =2×120^2 −2×120^2 cosXZY⇒cosXZY=((47)/(72))  ⇒sinXZY=((5(√(119)))/(72))]
