Q30 of 47 Page 1

In the given figure, ABCD is a rectangle of dimensions 21 cm 14 cm. A semicircle is drawn with BC as diameter. Find the area and the perimeter of the shaded region in the figure.

Required shaded area = area of rectangle - area of semicircle as diameter BC


Now,


Area of rectangle = length × breadth = AB × BC


Diameter of semicircle, BC = 14 cm


Radius of semicircle,


And area of semicircle of radius 'r'


Therefore,


Required area



= 371 cm2
