Q16 of 47 Page 1

Three semicircles each of diameter 3 cm, a circle of diameter 4.5 cm and a semicircle of radius 4.5 cm are drawn in the given figure. Find the area of the shaded region.

Area of shaded region = area of semicircle (with radius 4.5 cm) + area of semicircle (with diameter 3 cm) - area of two semicircles(with diameter 3 cm) - area of circle(with radius 4.5 cm)


As,


Area of circle with radius 'r'


Area of semicircle with radius 'r'


Applying formulas in eqn, we get


Area of shaded region
