Question
The following shape consists of three arcs of a circle, each with centre at the opposite vertex of an equilateral triangle as shown in the diagram.
For this shape, calculate
the perimeter.
the area.

each arc has length rθ=6×π3=2π(=6.283…)rθ=6×π3=2π(=6.283…) (M1)
perimeter is therefore 6π(=18.8)6π(=18.8) (cm) A1

area of sector, ss, is 12r2θ=18×π3=6π(=18.84…)12r2θ=18×π3=6π(=18.84…) (A1)
area of triangle, tt, is 12×6×3√3=9√3(=15.58…)12×6×3√3=9√3(=15.58…) (M1)(A1)
Note: area of segment, kk, is 3.261… implies area of triangle
finding 3s−2t3s−2t or 3k+t3k+t or similar
area =3s−2t=18π−18√3(=25.4)=3s−2t=18π−18√3(=25.4) (cm2) (M1)A1
