Let O is the center of the arc.  △OMA is right angled triangle with  ∠OMA=90,OA=r cm, OM=r−2 cm  AM=x (say):              (r−2)^2 +x^2 =r^2                x=(√(r^2 −(r−2)^2 ))                  =(√(4r−4))=2(√(r−1))   a.  AB=2AM=2x=4(√(r−1))                    =4(√(10−1))=12 cm  b. ∠AOM =θ(Assumed), OM=10−2=8        OA=10              cos θ=((OM)/(OA))=(8/(10))=0.8               θ=cos^(−1) (0.8)       ∠AOB=2∠AOM=2θ=2 cos^(−1) (0.8)                      ≈1.287 rad.  c.        Let ANB^(⌢) =s                    s=r(2θ)=10×1.287=12.87  Difference =12.87−12=0.870 cm≈9mm
