A Correct answer
Explanation

The distance from the origin to the line x*cos(alpha) + y*sin(alpha) = p is p. For a circle x^2 + y^2 = r^2, the chord length is 2*sqrt(r^2 - p^2). The angle subtended by the chord at the circumference is 30 degrees, so the angle at the center is 60 degrees. This makes the triangle formed by the center and the chord an equilateral triangle with side length r=2. Thus, the distance p = r*cos(30) = 2*(sqrt(3)/2) = sqrt(3). So p^2 = 3.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Area of circle = pi * 7^2 = 49 * pi. Area of sector = (90/360) * 49 * pi = 12.25 * pi. Area of triangle = (1/2) * 7 * 7 = 24.5. Smaller segment = 12.25 * pi - 24.5 = 12.25 * (3.14 - 2) = 13.96. Larger segment = 49 * pi - 13.96 = 139.86. The ratio is approximately 1:10.

C Correct answer
Explanation

For a circle inscribed in a trapezoid, the height of the trapezoid equals the diameter. Using the properties of an isosceles trapezoid with parallel sides 18 and 32, the base segments are (32-18)/2 = 7. Using Pythagoras on the triangle formed by the side (25) and the base segment (7), height = sqrt(25^2 - 7^2) = sqrt(625 - 49) = sqrt(576) = 24 cm.

  3. $ 7\frac { 1 }{ 3 } cm $
  4. $ 22\frac { 1 }{ 3 } cm $

A Correct answer
Explanation

Area of sector = (theta/360) * pi * r^2 = 770. (200/360) * (22/7) * r^2 = 770. Solving for r^2 gives r^2 = 770 * (360/200) * (7/22) = 441, so r = 21. Arc length = (theta/360) * 2 * pi * r = (200/360) * 2 * (22/7) * 21 = (5/9) * 132 = 73.33 or 73 1/3.
