θ+φ=α (known)  radius of arc is unity.  If the two shaded parts are equal,  find θ=f(α).

θ+ϕ=α(known)radiusofarcisunity.Ifthetwoshadedpartsareequal,findθ=f(α).

((αR^2 )/2)=((R cos θ×(R cos θ) tan α)/2)  cos^2  θ=(α/(tan α))  ⇒θ=cos^(−1) (√(α/(tan α)))  example: α=45°, ⇒θ≈27.6°

αR22=Rcosθ×(Rcosθ)tanα2cos2θ=αtanαθ=cos1αtanαexample:α=45°,θ27.6°

Thank you! sir.  α=(π/4)   ⇒  cos^2 θ=(π/4)     as tan (π/4)=1

Thankyou!sir.α=π4cos2θ=π4astanπ4=1
