A circular badge of radius 10 cm10\,\text{cm} is to be painted on one side only. The design requires the major segment corresponding to a 120∘120^\circ central angle to be painted blue and the rest to remain blank. Take π=3.14\pi=3.14. a. (i) Calculate the area of the entire circular badge. b. (ii) Determine the area of the minor segment cut off by the 120∘120^\circ chord. c.
