BROOCH

Q. 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 : (i) the total length of the silver wire required.

(ii) the area of each sector of the brooch.
