Question

This diagram shows a metallic pendant made out of four equal sectors of a larger circle of radius OB = 9  cm and four equal sectors of a smaller circle of radius OA = 3  cm .
The angle BOC = 20°.

N17/5/MATHL/HP2/ENG/TZ0/03

Find the area of the pendant.

Markscheme

* This question is from an exam for a previous syllabus, and may contain minor differences in marking or structure.

METHOD 1

area = (four sector areas radius 9) + (four sector areas radius 3)     (M1)

= 4 ( 1 2 9 2 π 9 ) + 4 ( 1 2 3 2 7 π 18 )     (A1)(A1)

= 18 π + 7 π

= 25 π   ( = 78.5  c m 2 )     A1

METHOD 2

area =

(area of circle radius 3) + (four sector areas radius 9) – (four sector areas radius 3)     (M1)

π 3 2 + 4 ( 1 2 9 2 π 9 ) 4 ( 1 2 3 2 π 9 )     (A1)(A1)

 

Note:     Award A1 for the second term and A1 for the third term.

 

= 9 π + 18 π 2 π

= 25 π   ( =   78.5  c m 2 )     A1

 

Note:     Accept working in degrees.
