Q19 of 52 Page 1

In Figure 6, O is the center of the circle with AC = 24 cm, AB = 7 cm and BOD = 90°. Find the area of the shaded region. (Use π = 3.14)

Given,


AC = 24 cm


AB = 7 cm


BOD = 90°


In right triangle BAC,


BAC = 90° [Angle in a semi-circle]


By Pythagoras’ theorem,


BC2 = AC2 + AB2


BC2 = 242 + 72


BC2 = 576 + 49 = 625


BC = √625 = 25 cm


Radius = OB = BC/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 cm


Area of the shaded region = Area of the circle – [area of ∆BAC + area of the quadrant]


=


= 490.625 – [84 + 122.656]


= 490.625 – 206.656


= 283.969 = 284 cm2
