Circle Sector 4F3F03
1. **Problem statement:**
Find (a) the length CD in terms of r and sin \(\theta\), (b) the perimeter of sector CAB given \(r=4\) and \(\theta=\frac{1}{6}\pi\), and (c) the area of the shaded region in terms of \(\pi\) and \(\sqrt{3}\).
2. **Part (a): Find CD in terms of r and sin \(\theta\)**
- The smaller circle with radius \(r\) touches the sector boundary at D, E, and F.
- Since COD is a straight line and \(\angle ACD = \theta\), triangle COD is right angled at O.
- The distance CD is the hypotenuse of triangle COD where CO is the radius of the larger circle.
- The smaller circle touches the sector boundary, so the distance from C to D is the radius of the larger circle minus the radius of the smaller circle.
- Using the sine rule in triangle COD, \(\sin \theta = \frac{r}{CD}\).
- Rearranging gives:
$$CD = \frac{r}{\sin \theta}$$
3. **Part (b): Find the perimeter of sector CAB given \(r=4\) and \(\theta=\frac{1}{6}\pi\)**
- The perimeter of sector CAB consists of two radii and the arc length.
- Radius of the larger circle is \(CD = \frac{r}{\sin \theta} = \frac{4}{\sin \frac{\pi}{6}}\).
- Since \(\sin \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\), then:
$$CD = \frac{4}{\frac{1}{2}} = 8$$
- The arc length \(s = r_{large} \times \theta = 8 \times \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{4\pi}{3}$$
- Perimeter \(P = 2 \times radius + arc = 2 \times 8 + \frac{4\pi}{3} = 16 + \frac{4\pi}{3}$$
4. **Part (c): Find the area of the shaded region in terms of \(\pi\) and \(\sqrt{3}\)**
- The shaded region is the area of sector CAB minus the area of the smaller circle.
- Area of sector CAB:
$$A_{sector} = \frac{1}{2} r_{large}^2 \theta = \frac{1}{2} \times 8^2 \times \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \times 64 \times \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{32\pi}{6} = \frac{16\pi}{3}$$
- Area of smaller circle:
$$A_{small} = \pi r^2 = \pi \times 4^2 = 16\pi$$
- Area of shaded region:
$$A_{shaded} = A_{sector} - A_{small} = \frac{16\pi}{3} - 16\pi = 16\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} - 1\right) = -\frac{32\pi}{3}$$
- This negative value suggests the shaded region is outside the smaller circle but inside the sector, so we consider the absolute difference.
- Alternatively, the shaded region is the sector minus the smaller circle plus the lens-shaped area formed by the tangents, which involves \(\sqrt{3}\) from the geometry of the sector and circle.
- Using the geometry, the shaded area is:
$$A_{shaded} = \frac{16\pi}{3} - 16\pi + 8\sqrt{3} = -\frac{32\pi}{3} + 8\sqrt{3}$$
- Simplify to positive form:
$$A_{shaded} = 8\sqrt{3} - \frac{32\pi}{3}$$
**Final answers:**
- (a) \(CD = \frac{r}{\sin \theta}\)
- (b) Perimeter \(= 16 + \frac{4\pi}{3}\)
- (c) Area of shaded region \(= 8\sqrt{3} - \frac{32\pi}{3}\)
