An equilateral triangle has one of its side coinciding with the diameter of the unit circle. The area of the region inside the triangle but outside the circle is |
Answer» We can create a diagram with the given details. Please refer to video for the diagram. Side of equilateral triangle will be the diameter of the circle. `:. AB = BC = AC = 2` units. Radius of the circle = `1` unit We can see from the figure, there are two equilateral triangle with each side as `1` unit in side the circle and also there is an arc subtending an angle `60^@` with the center. So, Required area`(A) = ` Area of triangle ABC - (Area of two equilateral triangles+ Area of the sector) `=> A = sqrt3/4(2)^2 - (2**sqrt3/4(1)^2-60/360**pi(1)^2)` `=>A = sqrt3 - (sqrt3/2-pi/6) = sqrt3/2-pi/6` So, required area is `sqrt3/2-pi/6` square units. |
