The circle above has a radius of 4 cm . If B A B ′ = 2 6 ∘ , determine the difference in areas of the yellow to the red to two decimal places. Keep in mind that E A B ′ is a straight line. (Answer is in cm 2 .)

good job elvin
We can find the area of both by easily: 2 π ⋅ 1 6 ≈ 2 5 . 1 3 2 7
If B A B ′ = 2 6 ∘ , F A E = 6 4 ∘ . This means E A B = 1 5 4 ∘ . This gives us an isosceles triangle, and we can find E B by using the law of sines: E B = s i n ( 1 3 ) 4 ⋅ s i n ( 1 5 4 ) ≈ 7 . 7 9 5 0 . Now, you can use Heron's formula to find the area of the isosceles to be ≈ 3 . 5 0 7 0 . To find the rest of the red area, we simply find the area of the portion of the circle: 3 6 0 1 6 π 2 6 ≈ 3 . 6 3 0 3 . We add the two areas together to get a total red area of ≈ 7 . 1 3 7 3 . Now, the yellow area equal the half of the circle minus the red, so to find the difference between the two is simple: 2 5 . 1 3 2 7 − ( 2 ⋅ 7 . 1 3 7 3 ) ≈ 1 0 . 8 6 .
Join AB to form a sector.
Area of sector BAB' = π ∗ r 2 ∗ 3 6 0 2 6 = 3.63
Area of △ EAB = 2 1 ∗ r 2 ∗ s i n ( 1 8 0 − 2 6 ) = 3.507
Total red area = 3.63 + 3.507 = 7.137
Area of semicircle EBB' = 8 π = 25.133
Yellow area = 25.133 - 7.137 = 17.996
Yellow area - Red area = 10.86
∠ E A B = 1 8 0 − 2 6 = 1 5 4 o = 1 8 0 π 1 5 4 = 2 . 6 8 7 8 c . Y e l l o w s e g m e n t a r e a = 2 4 2 ∗ { 2 . 6 8 7 8 − S i n ( 2 . 6 8 7 8 ) } = 1 7 . 9 9 5 4 8 c m 2 . Y e l l o w + R e d a r e a = a r e a o f s e m i c i r c l e = 8 π . ∴ R e d a r e a = 8 π − 1 7 . 9 9 5 4 8 . D i f f r a n c e i n a r e a = 1 7 . 9 9 5 4 8 − ( 8 π − 1 7 . 9 9 5 4 8 ) = 2 ∗ 1 7 . 9 9 5 4 8 − 8 π = 1 0 . 8 5 9 2 c m 2 .
Interesting approach! Well done! :)

1.Connect AB to create sector
Area of sector ABB'= 26/360 pi r^2, = 3.62
Notice triangle EAB
Drop perpendicular from A to EB, call this point M
angle(B'EB)=1/2 angle(B'AB), angle(B'EB)=13
Length of AM= sin(13)=x/4, = 3.44
Combine areas of triangle AEB and sector B'AB, = 7.06
Area of Yellow area= 2 p i ∗ r 2 - 7.06 ,= 18.06
Diff of areas= 18.06-7.06, approximately 11.
