Question
Is it true to say that area of a segment of a circle is less than the area of its corresponding sector? Why?
Solution
It is not true because in case of major segment, area is always greater than the area of its corresponding sector. It is true in the case of minor segment.
Therefore, we can conclude that it is not true to say that area of a segment of a circle is less than the area of its corresponding sector.
