Let us imagine a circle with radius a and centre O as the origin with (0,0) coordinates.
Let (x,0) be the point A on X axis. Then the ordinate at x (||lel to Y axis) is trisecting the circle, by data. The problem is to find the coordinates of x = OA (in terms of a). Let AP be the ordinate at A and P be the point on the circle. Let X be a point on the X axis where the cirle intercepts X axis.
Since the area to the right of the ordinate at A is one third of the area, the required equation is :
Considering the half the semicircle above x axis, one 3rd of the upper semi circle's area = pi*a^2/6 = area bounded by radii OP and OX and arc XP of circle - area of the triangle OAP = a^2 * (angle XOP )*(Pi/360) - (1/2)(OA*AP)
Pi*a^2/6=a^2(Pi* arcsin(x/a) /360) - (1/2)x(a^2-x^2)^(1/2)........(1)
But x/a = sin z say. Then arc sin(x/a) = z. And OA = x = a*cosz and y = AP sin z = a*sinz.
Substituting in (1), we get:
Pi*a^2/6=(Pi*a^2)(z/360)-(a^2/2) sinz cosz .
z= 60+ (360/2)(1/Pi) sinzcosz
z=60+(90/Pi)sinz*cosz
You can get the result by iteration and the numerical value of the angle z is 74.6370827 degree nearly.
z=74.6370827 nearly.
So, x=a*cos z and y=a sin z.
But the radius in the present case is a= 7
Therefore, x=7 cos (74.6370827)=1.854524591 and y=7sin(74.6370827)=6.74986952 nearly. So the other coordinate is x=-7cos74.6370827 = -1.854524591 an y cordinate is 7*sin (74.6370827) =6.74986952
Area of the enclosed by AP, PX and the arc XP= (1/2){a^2* arc sin x/a)- x(a^2-x^2)^(1/2) } = (49/2) *{ arc cos (1.854524591/7)} - (1/2)1.854524591*6.74986952 = 25.65633998, which is the 1/3 rd of the semi circle and with a symmetrical section below the X axis, the double ordinates at A trisects the area of the circle.
Therefore the original equation needs to be corrected as below:
25.656.. = -(1/2)x(49-x^2)^(1/2)+(49/2) arc cos (x/7).
Hope this helps.
