Find the area of the minor segment of the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 4$ cut off by the line $x = 1$, using integration. |
$\sqrt{3} + \frac{2\pi}{3}$ $\sqrt{3} + \frac{4\pi}{6}$ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{2\pi}{3}$ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\pi}{3}$ |
$\sqrt{3} + \frac{2\pi}{3}$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $\sqrt{3} + \frac{2\pi}{3}$ $x^2 + y^2 = 4$ $∴y = \sqrt{4 - x^2}$ Required area $= 2 \int\limits_{1}^{2} y \, dx$ $= 2 \int\limits_{1}^{2} \sqrt{4 - x^2} \, dx$ $= 2 \left[ \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{4-x^2} + \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \sin^{-1} \frac{x}{2} \right]_0^1$ $= 2 \left[ \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + 2 \times \frac{\pi}{6} \right) - 0 - 0 \right]$ $= \left( \sqrt{3} + \frac{2\pi}{3} \right) \text{ unit}^2$ |
