(N/A) Given: Radius $r = 21 \, cm$,Arc length $l = 33 \, cm$.
$1$. Angle subtended at the centre $(\theta)$: The formula for arc length is $l = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r$. Substituting the values: $33 = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21$. Solving for $\theta$: $33 = \theta \times \frac{44}{60} \implies \theta = \frac{33 \times 60}{44} = 45^\circ$.
$2$. Area of the minor sector: $A_{sector} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{45}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 21 = \frac{1}{8} \times 22 \times 3 \times 21 = 346.5 \, cm^2$.
$3$. Area of the minor segment: $A_{segment} = A_{sector} - A_{triangle} = 346.5 - \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin(\theta) = 346.5 - \frac{1}{2} \times 21 \times 21 \times \sin(90^\circ)$. Note: The central angle is $90^\circ$ if calculated as $l = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r \implies 33 = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \implies 33 = \theta \times \frac{132}{360} \implies \theta = 90^\circ$. Area of triangle $= \frac{1}{2} \times 21 \times 21 = 220.5 \, cm^2$. Area of segment $= 346.5 - 220.5 = 126 \, cm^2$.
