$ A B $ is a chord of a circle with centre $ O $ and radius $ 4 \mathrm{~cm} . A B $ is of length $ 4 \mathrm{~cm} $. Find the area of the sector of the circle formed by chord $ A B $.
Given:
\( A B \) is a chord of a circle with centre \( O \) and radius \( 4 \mathrm{~cm} . A B \) is of length \( 4 \mathrm{~cm} \).
To do:
We have to find the area of the sector of the circle formed by chord \( A B \).
Solution:
The radius of the circle with centre $O= 4\ cm$
$\Rightarrow AO=BO=4\ cm$
Length of the chord $AB = 4\ cm$
This implies,
$\mathrm{AOB}$ is an equilateral triangle.
$\angle \mathrm{AOB}=60^{\circ}$
Area of the sector $\mathrm{AOB}=\pi r^{2} \times \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}$
$=\pi(4)^{2} \times \frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \mathrm{cm}^{2}$
$=16 \pi \times \frac{1}{6}$
$=\frac{8 \pi}{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
The area of the sector of the circle formed by chord \( A B \) is $\frac{8 \pi}{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$.
