ABCD is a square of side 'a' cm. AB, BC, CD and AD are all chords of circles with equal radii. If the chords subtend an angle of 120⁰ at the centre of their respective circles, find the total area of the given figure, where arcs are a part of the circle:
Q.2
Which of the following is/are correct? I. If two sides of a triangle are unequal, the larger side has the greater angle opposite to it. II. The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side. III. If all the line segments can be drawn to a given line from an external point, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest. IV. If all the three sides of a triangle are equal, it is called a scalene triangle.
