Q5 of 36 Page 253

and are two mutually perpendicular radii of a circle of radius 10.5 cm. D and OD = 6 cm. Find the area of blue coloured region shown in figure 13.23.


Figure 13.23


given OA = 10.5 cm = radius (r)


OD = 6 CM


we can see that ODA is a right-angled triangle


area of triangle = OA× OD


= 10.5 × 6


= 31.5 cm2


we can see that segment OACB is of the circle.


so, the area of OACB = × r2


= × 10.52


= 86.54625 cm2


area of blue colored region = area of OACB - area of triangle


= 86.54625 – 31.5


= 55.04625 cm2
