Question
The following diagram shows a circle with centre O and radius 1 cm. Points A and B lie on the circumference of the circle and AˆOB=2θ, where 0<θ<π2.
The tangents to the circle at A and B intersect at point C.
Show that AC=tan θ.
Find the value of θ when the area of the shaded region is equal to the area of sector OADB.

METHOD 1 (working with half the areas)
area of triangle OAC or triangle OBC (A1)
eg 12×1×tan θ
correct sector area (A1)
eg 12×θ×(12) , 12θ
correct approach using their areas to find the shaded area (seen anywhere) (A1)
eg Atheir triangle-Atheir sector , 12θ-12tan θ
correct equation A1
eg 12tan θ-12θ=12θ , tan θ=2θ
