In ∆ABC,


∠A = 60°, AB = AC = 21 cm {radius of the circle}


⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB {angles opposite to equal sides are equal}


By the angle sum property of the triangle,


∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠A = 180°


⇒ 2∠ABC = 180° - 60°


⇒ ∠ABC = 60°


Hence, ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.


Area of a equilateral trianglewhere a is the side of it.


Area of ∆ABC


⇒ Area of ∆ABC = 190.95cm2


∴ Area of the segment BDC = area of sector ABDC – area of triangle ABC

Question 7.

In the given figure, ABMC is a quadrant of a circle of radius 14 cm and a semicircle is drawn with BC as diameter. Find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Given: ABMC is a quadrant of radius 14 cm.


In ∆ABC,


∠A = 90°, AB = AC = 14 cm


By Pythagoras theorem,


BC2 = AB2 + AC2


⇒ BC2 = 2× 14×14


⇒ BC = 14√2 cm


Now,
Area of ∆ABC


⇒ Area of ∆ABC


⇒ Area of ∆ABC = 98cm2


We know that the area of the minor sector


⇒ Area of ABMC


⇒ Area of ABMC = 154cm2


So, area of ABMC = area of ∆ABC + area of BCM


⇒ Area of BCM = area of ABMC - area of ∆ABC


⇒ Area of BCM = 154 – 98 = 56cm2


Also, we have a semicircle made at BC in the figure.


Diameter of the semicircle = BC = 14√2 cm


⇒ Radius of the semicircle = 7√2 cm


Area of semicircle


⇒ Area of semicircular plot


⇒ Area of semicircular plot = 154 cm2


Area of the shaded region = Area of the semicircle - Area of BCM


⇒ Area of the shaded region = 154 – 56 = 98 cm2



Question 8.

In the given figure, AB is a diameter, AC = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm. Find the shaded region.



Answer:

Given:


In ∆ABC,


AC = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm


Also, ∠C = 90° because angle subtended by the diameter is 90° and AB is the diameter.


By Pythagoras theorem,


BA2 = CB2 + AC2


⇒ BC2 = 36 + 64


⇒ BC = 10 cm




⇒ Area of ∆ABC = 24 cm2


Radius of the circle = 5 cm


Area of a circle = πr2



Area of the shaded region = Area of circle –Area of the triangle


⇒ Area of the shaded region = 78.57 -24 = 54.57 cm2



Question 9.

Find the area of the shaded design in the figure, where ABCD is a square of side 10 cm and semicircles are drawn with each side of the square as diameter (use π = 3.14).



Answer:

Given side of the square ABCD = 10 cm


Area of the square = side × side


⇒ Area of ABCD = 10 × 10 = 100 cm2


Also given that semicircles are drawn with each side of the square as diameter


Diameter = 10 cm


Radius = 5 cm


Let us mark the four unshaded areas as I, II, III and IV.


Area of I + Area III


= Area of square - Area of two semi-circles



= 21.5 cm2


Similarly, Area of II + Area of IV = 21.5 cm2


So, area of shaded region = ar of ABCD - ar (I + II + III + IV)


= (100 – 2 × 21.5) cm2


= 100 - 43


= 57 cm2



Question 10.
