    A circle has centre OO and radius 10 cm. The points AA and BB lie on the circle and AO^B=2π3A\hat{O}B=\frac{2\pi}{3}. The minor segment is the region between the chord [AB][AB] and the minor arc ABAB.
    (a)
    Find the exact area of the minor segment.
    [3 marks]
    (b)
    Find the exact perimeter of the minor segment.

  4. 4
    A garden sprinkler at a point OO waters a region of lawn in the shape of a sector of a circle, centre OO, with radius rr metres and angle θ\theta radians, where 0<θ<2π0<\theta<2\pi. The watered region has area 5050 m2^2 and perimeter 3030 m (two radii and the arc).
    (a)
    Show that r2−15r+50=0r^2-15r+50=0, and hence find the two possible pairs of values of rr and θ\theta.
    [6 marks]
    (b)
    The gardener chooses the setting that waters lawn furthest from OO. The ends of the arc are AA and BB, and a straight path runs along the chord [AB][AB].
    (i) Write down the values of
    rr and θ\theta for this setting, and convert θ\theta to degrees.
    (ii) Using a calculator, find the area of the watered region that lies between the path and the arc.
