#1
The area of OAB is 50
we have an isoscles ∆ so area ; x^2/2 = 50
x=10 ; area is 100pi
sufficient
#2
The length of arc ACB is \(15\pi\).
angle around c ; 270
so r ; 270/360 * 2*pi * r= 15 pi
solve for r = 10 sufficient

Hi Archit3110,

How did you calculate '270' as the angle around C?

Asked: What is the area of the circle above with center O?

(1) The area of OAB is 50.
\(r^2/2 = 50\)
r = 10
\(Area = 100\pi\)
SUFFICIENT

(2) The length of arc ACB is \(15\pi\).
\(3/4C = 15\pi\) where C = circumference
\(C = 2\pi r = 20 \pi\)
r = 10
\(Area = 100\pi\)
SUFFICIENT

What does statement 1 implies? Is it the area of the triangle or the area of the segment?

It is odd that it is not mentioned whether OAB is the triangle or the sector. An official question would specify clearly. Here, I would just assume that it is the triangle because there is no mention of pi here.

Original question mentions triangle OAB, I copied incorrectly. Edited. Thank you!
