The diagram shows a circle, radius r. A and B are points on circle’s circumference, where the length AB is equal to r. Tangents at points A and B meet at point C. Calculate the exact area enclosed by the circle and the tangents in terms of r.

Here's our final #OCRMathsPuzzle for the half term.

Find the area enclosed by the circle and tangents in the diagram below.

Casio product notice regarding advice on when to introduce the new CG100 to students. Current Year 12 and Year 13 should continue with the familiar CG50. Students starting A level in Sept 2025 should begin the course with the new CG100.

In #MathsToday I am unboxing my new CG-100.

This is the replacement of the CG-50 and intended for students starting the A level course in September 2025.

For a general guide on calculators for A levels take a read of my blog:
