The understanding of area related to circle properties forms the foundation to solve practical problems about area calculations and perimeter measurements, and sector subdivisions. The chapter presents procedures to find the circumference and area of circles, along with their sector and segment applications in daily scenarios. Students must practice all the topics of Trigonometry and their examples from the NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Area related to circles. Students must practice questions and check solutions from the NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Area related to circles.
A circle's area denotes the complete space located between its defining boundaries.
To calculate the Area of a Circle, the formula is:
Area =
(where
For Example, find the area of a circle with a radius of 14 cm.
Area of a circle =
A circle's circumference represents the complete length of its boundary line. It is also known as the perimeter of the circle.
To calculate the Circumference of a Circle, the formula is:
Circumference =
(where
For Example, find the circumference of a circle with a radius of 14 cm.
Circumference of a Circle =
The portion (or part) of the circular region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc is called a sector of the circle.
Minor Sector: If the minor arc of the circle forms part of the sector's boundary, it is called a minor sector, which means the smaller area of the circle enclosed by two radii.
Major Sector: If the major arc of the circle is part of the sector's boundaries, it is called a major sector, which means the larger area of the circle enclosed by two radii.
The angle of a sector emerges as the central angle which forms between the two radii within the sector and extends from the circle center. The size of the sector depends on its central angle and is measured in degrees (°) or radians. Θ shown in the upper figure is the angle of a sector.
The area of the sector equates to the region that the sector occupies within the circle boundaries. A sector takes up part of the circle's overall space.
To calculate the Area of a sector of a Circle, the formula is:
Area =
(where
For Example, find the area of the sector if the angle of the sector is 90° and the radius of the circle is 14 cm.
Area of the sector =
=
The curved sector boundary, which is a component of the circle's circumference, is known as the arc length.
To calculate the Area of a sector of a Circle, the formula is:
Length of an Arc =
(where
For Example, find the length of the sector if the angle of the sector is 90° and the radius of the circle is 14 cm.
Length of the sector =
=
The area of a circle that is bounded by a chord and its matching arc is called a segment. The center is not included.
Minor Segment: The smaller region of the circle cut off by the chord.
Major Segment: The larger region of the circle cut off by the chord.
Area of Segment:
To calculate the Area of a segment of a Circle, the formula is:
Area of segment of a circle = Area of the corresponding sector – Area of the corresponding triangle.
For Example, A circle has a radius of 14 cm, and a chord subtends a 90° angle at the center. Find the area of the minor segment of the circle.
First, calculate the area of the sector:
Area of sector =
=
Now, calculate the area of the triangle:
Since the angle is 90°, the triangle formed is a right-angled triangle with base and height equal to the radius (14 cm each). The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = 12 × base × height
So, area = 12 × 14 × 14 = 98 cm2
Area of the minor segment = Area of sector - Area of Triangle
So, Area of the minor segment = 154 - 98 = 56 cm2
