Angles and Arc Lengths Class 11 OP Malhotra Exe-3A Solution.
Que-1: Express the following angles in degrees : (π/6), (14π/15), (11π/18), (7π/90)
Sol: We know that π rad = 180°
⇒ 1 rad = 180°/π
∴ (π/6) rad = (180°/π) × (π/6) = 30°
(14π/15) rad = (180°/π) × (14π/15) = 168°
(11π/18) rad = (180°/π) × (11π/18) = 110°
and (7π/90) rad = (180°/π) × (7π/90) = 14°
Que-2: Express the following angles in radians
(i) 1′ (ii) 20° (iii) 135°.
Sol: We know that n radian = 180°
1° = (π/180) rad
(i) 1′ = (1/60)° = (1/60)×(π/180) rad
= π/10800 rad
(ii) 20° = (20)×(π/180) rad
= π/9 rad
(iii) 135° = (135)×(π/180) rad
= 3π/4 rad.
Que-3:Express in radians and also in degrees the angle of a regular polygon of (i) 40 sides, (ii) n sides.
Sol: We know that exterior angle = 360° no. of sides
(i) Here n = 40
∴ exterior angle = 360°/40 = 9° = (π/20) rad [∵ π rad = 180°]
∴ interior angle of polygon = 180° – 9° = 171°
(In radians) interior angle of polygon
= π – (π/20) = 19π/20.
(ii) each exterior angle = 360°/n or 2π/n
∴ each interior angle of polygon with sides
n = 180° – (360°/n) = {(n−2)/n} 180°
or π − (2π/n) = (n−2n)/π radians
Que-4: In a circle of diameter 40 cm, the length of a chord is 20 cm, find the length of minor arc of the chord.
Sol: Given that the diameter of the circle = 40 cm and the length of the chord is 20 cm.
⇒ Radius of the circle = half of diameter = 20 cm.
Let AB be the chord whose length is 20 cm ( given)
By joining the radii to the ends of the chord, we get a triangle AOB.
In triangle AOB, OA = OB = 20 cm (radii of circle)
AB = 20 cm (given the length of the chord)
∴ Triangle AOB is an equilateral triangle with all sides equal.
⇒ Θ = 60° = π / 3 radian.
As we know that, in a circle of radius r unit, if the length of the arc is l unit subtends at an angle Θ radian at the center, then l = r × Θ
⇒ l = 20 × π / 3
⇒ l = 20 π/3 cm.
Que-5: The length of a pendulum is 8 m while the pendulum swings through 1.5 rad, find the length of the arc through which the tip of the pendulum passes.
Sol: Given length of pendulum = r = 8m
Also, angle through pendulum swings θ = 1.5 rad
∴ required length of arc through which tip of the pendulum passes = s = rθ
= (8 x 1.5) m = 12m
Que-6: The minute hand of a clock is 15 cm long. How far does the tip of the hand move during 40 minutes ? (Take π = 3.14)
Sol: given length of minute hand of clock = r = 15 cm
since angle moved by minute hand in 60′ = 360°
∴ angle moved by minute hand in 40′ = (360/60) x 40 = 240°
∴ θ = 240°
We know that n radians = 180°
1° = (π/180) rad
240° = (240)×(π/180) rad
= 4π/3 rad
Also, θ = l/r
l = θr = 15×(4/3)×3.14
= 62.85 cm.
Thus the tip of the minute hand moving during 40 minutes be 62.85 cm.
Que-7: A central angle of a circle of radius 50 cm intercepts an arc of 10 cm. Express the central angle 0 in radians and in degrees.
Sol: Given radius of circle = r = 60 cm
length of arc = l = 10 cm
∴ required central angle of circle
θ = l/r = 10/50 = 1/5 rad
We know that, π radians = 180°
∴ θ = (1/5) rad = (180°/π) × (1/5)
= (180°/22) × (7/5)
= (126°/11) = 11°27′11′′
Que-8: The moon’s distance from the earth is 360000 km and its diameter subtends an angle of 31′ at the eye of the observer. Find the diameter of the moon.
Sol: Here θ = 31′ = (31/60)° [∵ 1° = 60′ ⇒ 1′ = (1/60)°]
Also π rad = 180° ⇒ 1° = (π/180) rad
∴ θ = {(31/60) x (π/180)} rad
Since the distance between the moon and earth is quite large so we consider diameter AB as arc AB
We know that, θ = l/r
⇒ (31/60) × (π/180) = diameter/360000
diameter of moon = (31/60) × (π/180) x 360000
= (31/60) × (22/7×180) x 360000
= 68200/21 km
Que-9: A railway train is travelling on a curve of 750 m radius at the rate of 30 km/h, through what angle has it turned in 10 seconds ?
Sol: Given radius of curve = r = 750 m
given distance travelled by train in 1 hour = 30 km = (30 x 1000) m
∴ distance covered by train in 1 second
= 30000/(60×60)
Thus distance covered by train in 10 seconds
= l = {(30000/3600) x 10)}
Therefore required angle has it turned in 10 seconds = θ = l/r
= (30000×10)/(3600×750)
= 1/9 rad.
Que-10: A horse is tethered to a stake by a rope 810 cm long. If the horse moves along the circumferences of a circle always keeping the rope tight, find how far it will have gone when the rope has traced out an angle of 70° ?
Sol: Let O denote the position of point and OP denote the length of rope in tight position.
∠POQ = 70°
QP = 810 = r cm
We know that ∠POQ = (arc PQ)/OP
arc PQ = (70°×810)
= {(π/180)×70×810}
= {(22/7)×(1/180)×70×810} cm
= 990 cm.
Que-11: The area of a sector of 6.024 cm² and its angle is 36°. Find the radius, (π = 3.14).
Sol: Let O be the centre of circle with radius r
Then area of sector AOB with central angle θ
= (1/2)r²θ where θ = 30°
Also, given area of sector = 5.024 cm²
= (1/2)r²θ = 5.024
= (1/2)r² × 36 × (π/180) = 5.024
= (r²π)/10 = 5.024
= r² = 5.024 × 10 × (22/7)
= r² = 15.98545
r = 4 cm.
Que-12: Find the area of sector of a circle, radius 5 m bounded by an arc of length 8 in.
Sol: Given radius of sector of circle = r = 5 m
given arc of length = l = 8 m
∴ Central angle θ = l/r = 8/5 rad
Thus, required area of sector of circle
= (1/2)r²θ = (1/2)×5²×(8/5) = 20 m²
Que-13: The diagram shows a windscreen wiper cleaning a car windscreen.
(i) What is the length of the arc swept out?
(ii) What area of the windscreen is not cleaned?

Sol: (i) Given θ = 8π/9
∴ required length of arc swept out = l = rθ
= (4/5) x (8π/9) = 40π = 40 × (22/7) cm
= 126 cm
(ii) area of car windscreen = (55 x 100) cm²
= 5500 cm²
∴ area of windscreen is not cleaned = area of car windscreen – area of windscreen cleaned
= 5500 – (1/2)r² θ
= (5500 – (1/2) x 45 x 45 x (8/9) x (22/7)) cm²
= (5500 – 2828.57) cm²
= 2671.42 cm²
Que-14: Find the area of the shaded segment in given below figure.

Sol: Area of sector = (1/2)r² θ
= (1/2)×24×24×60°
= 12×24×(π/3) cm²
= 12×24×(22/21)
= 301.7142 cm²
area of ΔAOB = (1/2)×OA×OB×sin60°
= (1/2)×24×25×(√3/2)
= 144√3 = 249.2193 cm²
Required area of shaded region = area of sector AOB – area of ΔAOB
= (301.7142 – 249.2193) cm²
= 52.298 cm².
Que-15: What is the ratio of the areas of the major sector in diagram A to the minor sector in a diagram B?

Sol: A1 = area of major sector in diagram A
= (1/2)r² θ = (1/2)r² (150°)
= (1/2)r² (π/180)× 150
= (1/2)r² (5π/6)
A2 = area of minor sector in diagram B
= (1/2)r² (π/3)
Required ratio = A1/A2
= {(1/2)r² (5π/6)} / {(1/2)r² (π/3)}
= (5π/6) × (π/3)
= 5/2
= 5 : 2.
