Question
The diagram shows a circle, centre O, with radius 4 cm. Points A and B lie on the circumference of the circle and AÔB = θ , where 0 ≤ θ ≤ .
Find the area of the shaded region, in terms of θ.
The area of the shaded region is 12 cm2. Find the value of θ.

valid approach to find area of segment (M1)
eg area of sector – area of triangle,
correct substitution (A1)
eg
area = 80 – 8 sinθ, 8(θ – sinθ) A1 N2

setting their area expression equal to 12 (M1)
eg 12 = 8(θ – sinθ)
