Q4 of 47 Page 20

A rectangular piece is 20 m long and 15 m wide. From its four corners, quadrants of radii 3.5 m have been cut. Find the area of the remaining part.


Area of the plot = area of the rectangle - 4 × area of one quadrant


Radius of semi-circle = 3.5 m


Area of four quadrants = area of one circle


Area of the plot = length × breadth + πr2


Area of the plot = 20 × 15 -


Area of the plot = 300 – 38.5 = 261.5 m2
