AB and CD are respectively arcs of two concentric circles of radii 21 cm and 7 cm and centre O (see Fig. 12.32). If AOB = 30°, find the area of the shaded region


Area of the shaded region = Area of sector OAEB - Area of sector OCFD

= * * (21)2 - * * (7)2


= * [(21)2 – (7)2]


= * [(21 – 7) (21 + 7)]
