IB MATH AA SL, Paper 2, May, 2022, TZ2, Solved Past Paper

Master the 2022 IB May for Paper 2 Mathematics AA SL with examiner tailored solutions and comments for TZ2

Question 1 [Explained]

Imagine a circle centered at point O with a radius of 5 meters. On this circle, there are two points, A and B. These points define an arc on the circle's edge, and the central angle, (AOB^) , spanning this arc is 1.9 radians.

 

This question essentially sets up a scenario involving a circle and an arc, where you are given the radius of the circle and the measure of the angle subtended by the arc at the circle's center. The angle in radians helps in understanding the proportion of the circle that the arc covers.

Question 1 [b] [Explanation]

To determine the size of a particular shaded region within a circle, we need to calculate its area. This measurement is essential for understanding the portion of space that the shaded section occupies relative to the entire circle. The formula used for this calculation incorporates the circle's radius and the angle that subtends the shaded sector.
