In Fig. 4, ABCD is a trapezium with AB || DC and BCD = 30°. If BGEC is a sector of a circle with center C and AB = BC = 7 cm, DE = 4 cm and BF = 3.5 cm, then find the area of the shaded region (use ).
(Fig. 4)
.
Given:
AB = BC = 7 cm
DE = 4 cm
DF = 3.5 cm
CD = DE + EC = 11 cm
Area of Trapezium ABCD = × Sum of Parallel Sides × Height
Area of Trapezium ABCD =
Area of shaded region = Area of Trapezium ABCD - Area of sector CBE
Answer: Area of Shaded region = 18.67 cm2
