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
