Question:
A chord of a circle of radius 14 cm a makes a right angle at the centre. Find the area of the sector.
Solution:
Let r cm be the radius of the circle and
We have:
$r=14 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\theta=90^{\circ}$
Area of the sector $=\frac{\pi r^{2} \theta}{360}$
$=\left(\frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 \times \frac{90}{360}\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}$
$=154 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
