A brooch is made with silver wire in the form of a circle with diameter 35 mm. The wire is also used in making 5 diameters which divide the circle into 10 equal sectors as shown in figure. Find:
- the total length of the silver wire required.
- the area of each sector of the brooch.

- $\because $ Diameter = 35 mm
$\therefore $ Radius = $\frac { 35 } { 2 } \mathrm { mm }$
$\therefore $ Circum ference = $2\pi r$
$= 2 \times \frac { 22 } { 7 } \times \frac { 35 } { 2 } $= 110mm ..... (1)
Length of 5 diameters
$= 35 \times 5 $= 175 mm ...... ( 2 )
$\therefore $ The total length of the silver wire required
= 110 + 175 = 285 mm - $r = \frac { 35 } { 2 } m m , \theta = \frac { 360 ^ { \circ } } { 10 } = 36 ^ { \circ }$
$\therefore $ The area of each sector of the brooch
$= \frac { \theta } { 360 } \times \pi r ^ { 2 }$
$= \frac { 36 } { 360 } \times \frac { 22 } { 7 } \times \frac { 35 } { 2 } \times \frac { 35 } { 2 } = \frac { 385 } { 4 } \mathrm { mm } ^ { 2 }$
