Find the area of the smallest part of a disc of radius 10 c m 10cm , cut off by a chord A B AB which subtends an angle of 22. 5 22.5^{\circ} at the circumference.

This problem is part of the set Trigonometry .

We know that the angle subtended by a chord on the major arc is half of the angle subtended by it at the centre. A O B = 4 5 \therefore \angle AOB = 45^{\circ} .

Now all we have to do is find the area of the segment.

Area of Δ A O B = 1 2 a b sin θ = ( 1 2 ) ( 10 ) ( 10 ) ( sin ( 4 5 ) ) = 25 2 \Delta AOB = \frac{1}{2}ab\sin \theta = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)(10)(10)(\sin(45^{\circ})) = 25\sqrt{2}

Area of sector O A B = θ 36 0 × π r 2 = 4 5 36 0 × π × 100 = 25 π 2 O-AB = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^{2} = \frac{45^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi \times 100 = \frac{25\pi}{2}

Hence the answer, 25 π 2 25 2 = 50 π 4 50 2 = 50 ( π 4 1 2 ) \frac{25\pi}{2} - 25\sqrt{2} = \frac{50\pi}{4} - \frac{50}{\sqrt{2}} = \boxed{50\left(\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}
