Question
The following diagram shows a circle, centre O and radius r mm. The circle is divided into five equal sectors.
One sector is OAB, and AˆOB=θ.
The area of sector AOB is 20π mm2.
Write down the exact value of θ in radians.
Find the value of r.
Find AB.

θ=2π5 A1 N1
[1 mark]
correct expression for area (A1)
egA=12r2(2π5), πr25
evidence of equating their expression to 20π (M1)
eg12r2(2π5)=20π, r2=100, r=±10
r=10 A1 N2
