perimeter = 2r + θr   20 = 2r+θr ⇒θ = ((20−2r)/r)...(1)  area = (1/2)θr^2   21= (1/2)θr^2  ...(2)  (1) and (2) ⇒ 42 = (((20−2r)/r)).r^2   42 = 20r−2r^2  ⇒ r^2 −10r+21 = 0  (r−3)(r−7) = 0  { ((r = 3 unit)),((r=7 unit)) :}  for r = 3 unit ⇒θ=((20−6)/3) = ((14)/3) radian  for r = 7 unit ⇒θ=((20−14)/7) = (6/7) radian

$${perimeter}\:=\:\mathrm{2}{r}\:+\:\theta{r}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{20}\:=\:\mathrm{2}{r}+\theta{r}\:\Rightarrow\theta\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{20}−\mathrm{2}{r}}{{r}}...\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$${area}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\theta{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{21}=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\theta{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \:...\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:{and}\:\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{42}\:=\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{20}−\mathrm{2}{r}}{{r}}\right).{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{42}\:=\:\mathrm{20}{r}−\mathrm{2}{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\Rightarrow\:{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{10}{r}+\mathrm{21}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left({r}−\mathrm{3}\right)\left({r}−\mathrm{7}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{0}\:\begin{cases}{{r}\:=\:\mathrm{3}\:{unit}}\\{{r}=\mathrm{7}\:{unit}}\end{cases} \\ $$$${for}\:{r}\:=\:\mathrm{3}\:{unit}\:\Rightarrow\theta=\frac{\mathrm{20}−\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{3}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{14}}{\mathrm{3}}\:{radian} \\ $$$${for}\:{r}\:=\:\mathrm{7}\:{unit}\:\Rightarrow\theta=\frac{\mathrm{20}−\mathrm{14}}{\mathrm{7}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{7}}\:{radian} \\ $$
