Questions Related to circle and its elements

State true or false.
Sector is the region between the chord and its corresponding arc.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sector is the region between an arc and two radii joining. The centre to the end points of the arc.

False.

$r$ is the radius and $l$  is the length of an arc. The area of a sector is ______.

  1. $\dfrac { 1 } { 2 } r l$

  2. $\dfrac { 3 } { 2 } r ^ { 2 } l$

  3. $\dfrac { 4 } { 3 } r l$

  4. $\dfrac { 3 } { 2 } r l$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} Area\, of\, a\, \sec  tor\, =\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } { r^{ 2 } }\theta  \ =\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \times r\times r\theta  \ =\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \times r\times l \ Hence,\, option\, A\, is\, \, the\, \, correct\, \, answer. \end{array}$

State true or false:


Sector is the region between the chord and its corresponding arc.

  1. False

  2. True 

  3. cannot be determined

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Segment is the region between the chord and its corresponding arc.

Say true or false:

A sector is a region between the chord and its corresponding arc.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

False.
The region between an arc and the two radii, joining the centre to the end points of the arc is called a sector

A circular disc of radius $10 cm$ is divided into sectors with angles $120^o$ and $150^o$, then the ratio of the area of two sectors is

  1. $4 : 5$

  2. $5 : 4$

  3. $2 : 1$

  4. $8 : 7$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Area of sector formed from angle $\theta=\dfrac{\theta}{360^\circ}\pi r^2$, where $r$ is the radius of the circle
Now, if angle is $120^\circ$, $150^\circ$ then the ratio of area of sector will be

$\Rightarrow\dfrac{\dfrac{120^\circ}{360^\circ}\pi r^2}{\dfrac{150^\circ}{360^\circ}\pi r^2}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{5}$
Hence, the required ratio is $4:5$. 

The region between an arc and two radii joining the centre to the end points of the arc is called

  1. sector

  2. segment

  3. semicircle

  4. non of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The region between an arc and two radii joining the center to the end points of the arc is called sector.The minor are corresponds to minor sector  and  major arc correspond to major sector.

$\triangle ABC$ is inscribed in a circle. Point $P$ lies between $A$ and $C$, whereas point $Q$ lies between $B$ and $C$. If $m(\text{arc}\, APC) = 60^\circ$ and $\angle BAC = 80^\circ$, find $m(\text{arc}\, BQC)$.
  1. $180^\circ$

  2. $90^\circ$

  3. $160^\circ$

  4. $120^\circ$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

By inscribed angle theorem, 

$ \cfrac 12 m\angle BAC = m(arc BQC)$
$m(arc BQC) = 2 \times \angle BAC$
$\therefore m(arc BQC) = 2 \times 80^o = 160^o$

Which of the following is not a sector of a circle?

  1. Pizza slice

  2. Cathedral window

  3. Birthday cap

  4. Apple pie


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pizza slice, Cathedral window and apple pie are sector of a circle 

whereas Birthday cap is of conical shape which is not a sector of circle.
Hence option 'C' is correct choice
