Hi,
I'm Ai Ling. I enjoy coaching students who have challenges with
understanding and scoring in 'O' Level A-Maths and E-Maths.
I develop Maths strategies, sometimes 'ridiculous' ideas to help students in understanding abstract concepts the fast and memorable way.
I write this blog to share with you the Maths tips and strategies I teach in my class. I hope all these will help you to enjoy Maths and achieve better results.
You can form 2 equilateral triangles within the shaded region itself and the length of each side is 2r.
Next is to find the total area of these 2 triangles. You can use the equation half x base x height. The base is 2r and the height can be found with pythagoras theorem.
Since we know that there are 2 equilateral triangles, we will know that the angle is 120 degrees. Thus, find the area of the sector now using the formula half x radius squared x theta. The theta is 120 x pi divide 180.
Use this value to minus off the total area of the 2 equilateral triangles found earlier. Name this value x.
The answer can then be proven by the following expression:
2x + Total Area of the 2 equilateral triangles.
Good luck to you in your Prelims XD
