In Fig. 4, AB and CD are two diameters of a circle with centre O, which are perpendicular to each other. OB is the diameter of the smaller circle. If OA = 7 cm, find the area of the shaded region. [use π = 22/7]

Fig.4
Given-
AB and CD are the diameters of bigger circle with centre O and OA = 7 cm.
∴ Radius of Bigger Circle(R) = 7 cm
Radius of Smaller Circle(r) = (7/2) cm
Area of Δ ADC = (1/2) × Base× Corresponding Altitude
= (1/2) × CD× OA
= (1/2) × 14× 7
= 49 sq. cm
Area of Semicircular Region CAD = (1/2) × Area of Bigger Circle
= (1/2) × π × (R)2
= (1/2) × (22/7) × (7)2
= 77 sq. cm
Area of Smaller circle = π × (r)2
= (22/7) × (7/2)2
= (77/2)
= 38.5 sq. cm
Thus, Area of Shaded Region
= Area of Smaller circle+ Area of Semicircular Region CAD- Area of ΔADC
= 38.5 + 77 - 49
= 66.5 sq. cm
