Exercise 1

Anne is riding a horse which is tied to a pole with a 3.5 m piece of rope and her friend Laura is
riding a donkey which is 2 m from the same center point. Calculate the distance travelled by each
when they have rotated 50 times around the centre.

Exercise 2
The rope that attaches a swing to a tree is 1.8 m long and the maximum difference between
trajectories is an angle of 146°. Calculate the maximum distance travelled by the seat of the
swing when the swing angle is described as the maximum.

Exercise 3
Find the area of a circular sector whose chord is the side of the square inscribed in a circle with a
4 cm radius.

Exercise 4
Calculate the shaded area, knowing that the side of the outer square is 6 cm and the radius of the
circle is 3 cm.

Exercise 5
In a circular park with a radius of 250 m there are 7 lamps whose bases are circles with a radius
of 1 m. The entire area of the park has grass with the exception of the bases for the lamps.
Calculate the lawn area.

Exercise 6
Two radii (plural for radius) OA and OB form an angle of 60° for two concentric circles with 8
and 5 cm radii. Calculate the area of the circular trapezoid formed by the radii and concentric
circles.
Exercise 7
A circular fountain of 5 m radius lies alone in the centre of a circular park of 700 m radius.
Calculate the total walking area available to pedestrians visiting the park.

Exercise 8
A central angle of 60° is plotted on a circle with a 4 cm radius. Calculate the area of the circular
segment between the chord joining the ends of the two radii and its corresponding arc.

Exercise 9
A chord of 48 cm is 7 cm from the center of a circle. Calculate the area of the circle.

Exercise 10
Calculate the area enclosed by the inscribed and circumscribed circles to a square with a
diagonal of 8 m in length.
