Here, diameter of circle, AB=10cm

Radius of circle, r=102=5cm

 Area of circle =π2=3.14×(5)2=3.14×25=78.5cm2

Area of the shaded region = Area of circle - Area of ABC

Length of inner rectangle EFGH=26(5+5)=16m

Area of two semi-circles EJF and HIG =2πr22=2×π(2)22=4πm

Now, area of inner rectangle EFGH=EH×FG=16×4=64m2

and area of outer rectangle ABCD=26×12=312m2

Area of shaded region = Area of outer rectangle - (Area of two semi-circles

=312(64+4π)=(2484π)m2

(Area of inner rectangle)

10 Find the area of the minor segment of a circle of radius 14cm, when the angle of the corresponding sector is 60.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, radius of circle (r)=14cm

and angle of the corresponding sector i.e., central angle (θ)=60

Since, in AOB,OA=OB= Radius of circle i.e., AOB is isosceles.

OAB=OBA=θ

Now, in OABAOB+OAB+OBA=180

[since,sum of interior angles of any triangle is 180 ]

60+θ+θ=180

2θ=120

θ=60

i.e. OAB=OBA=60=AOB

Since, all angles of AOB are equal to 60 i.e., AOB is an equilateral triangle.

Also,

OA=OB=AB=14cm

So, Area of OAB=34( side )2

=34×(14)2[ area of an equilateral triangle =34( side )2]=34×196=493cm2

and area of sector OBAO=π23602×θ

=227×14×14360×60=22×2×146=22×143=3083cm2

Area of minor segment = Area of sector OBAO - Area of OAB

=3083493cm2

Hence, the required area of the minor segment is 3083493cm2.

Area of the sector with central angle =Q360×πr2=Q360×π×(14)2cm2

and area of the sector with central angle R=R360×π2=R360×π×(14)2cm2

Therefore, sum of the areas (in cm2 ) of three sectors

=P360×π×(14)2+θ360×π×(14)2+R360×π×(14)2=P+Q+R360×196×π=180360×196πcm2

[since, sum of all interior angles in any triangle is 180 ]

=98πcm2=98×227

=14×22=308cm2

Hence, the required area of the shaded region is 308cm2.

Area of sector with B=B360×πr2=B360×π×(21)2cm2

Area of sector with C=C360×πr2=C360×π×(21)2cm2

and area of sector with D=D360×π2=D360×π×(21)2cm2

Therefore, sum of the areas (in cm2 ) of the four sectors

=A360×π×(21)2+B360×π×(21)2+C360×π×(21)2+D360×π×(21)2=(A+B+C+D)360×π×(21)2[ sum of all interior angles in any quadrilateral =360]

Find the area of the field which cannot be grazed by the three animals.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, a triangular field with the three corners of the field a cow, a buffalo and a horse are tied separately with ropes. So, each animal grazed the field in each corner of triangular field as a sectorial form.

Given, radius of each sector (r)=7m

Now, area of sector with C=C360×πr2=C360×π×(7)2m2

Area of the sector with B=B360×πr2=B360×π×(7)2m2

and area of the sector with H=H360×πr2=H360×π×(7)2m2

Therefore, sum of the areas (in cm2 ) of the three sectors

=C360×π×(7)2+B360×π×(7)2+H360×π×(7)2=(C+B+H)360×π×49.=180360×227×49=11×7=77m2

Given that, sides of triangle are a=15,b=16 and c=17

Now, semi-perimeter of triangle, s=a+b+c2

=15+16+172=482=24 Area of triangular field =s(sa)(sb)(sc)=24987=64921=8×321=2421m2 [by Heron’s formula] 

So, area of the field which cannot be grazed by the three animals

= Area of triangular field  Area of each sectorial field =242177m2

Hence, the required area of the field which can not be grazed by the three animals is (242177)m2.

So, the required AOB is an equilateral triangle.

Now, area of AOB=34( side )2[. area of an equilateral triangle .=34( side )2]

=34(12)2=34×12×12=363cm2

Now, area of the segment of a circle i.e.,

ABCA= Area of sector OBCA Area of AOB

=(75.36363)cm2

Hence, the required area of segment of a circle is (75.36363)cm2.

5 A circular pond is 17.5m is of diameter. It is surrounded by a 2m wide path. Find the cost of constructing the path at the rate of ₹ 25 Per m2 ?

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, a circular pond is surrounded by a wide path.

The diameter of circular pond =17.5m

 Radius of circular pond (ri)= Diameter 2 i.e., OA=ri=17.52=8.75m

and the width of the path =2m

i.e., AB=2m

Now, length of OB=OA+AB=ri+AB

Let (re)=8.75+2=10.75m

So, area of circular path = Area of outer circle i.e., (circular pond + path)

=πre2πri2=π(re2ri2)=π(10.75)2(8.75)2=π(10.75+8.75)(10.758.75)=3.14×19.5×2=122.46m2

Now, cost of constructing the path per square metre =25

Cost constructing the path ₹ 122.46m2=122.46×25

=3061.50

Hence, required cost of constructing the path at the rate of 25perm2 is ₹ 3061.50.

6 In figure, ABCD is a trapezium with AB||DC.AB=18cm,DC=32cm and distance between AB and DC=14cm. If arcs of equal radii 7cm with centres A,B,C and D have been drawn, then find the area of the shaded region of the figure.

Show Answer

Solution

Given-

ABCD is a trapezium. AB|DC and AB=18 cm,DC=32 cm.

There are 4 arcs centring the vertices A,B,C,D with radius r=7 cm.

To find out - area of shaded region

Solution-

Area of trapezium =12× sum of the parallel sides × distance between the parallel sides.

=12×(AB+CD)×14=12×(18+32)×14 cm2=350 cm2

Let us take the angles of the trapezium as a at A,b at B,c at C and d at D.

Now the given arcs form 4 sectors.

Together they form a circle of radius r=7 cm as a+b+c+d=360.

The area of the sectors-area of circle with radius (r=7 cm)

=π×r2=227×72=154 cm2

Area of shaded region = area of trapezium - area of circle

=(350154)=196 cm2

7 Three circles each of radius 3.5cm are drawn in such a way that each of them touches the other two. Find the area enclosed between these circles.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, three circles are in such a way that each of them touches the other two.

Now, we join centre of all three circles to each other by a line segment. Since, radius of each circle is 3.5cm.

So;

AB=2× Radius of circle =2×3.5=7cmAC=BC=AB=7cm

which shows that, ABC is an equilateral triangle with side 7cm.

We know that, each angle between two adjacent sides of an equilateral triangle is 60.

Area of sector with angle A=60.

=A360×πr2=60360×π×(3.5)2

So,

 area of each sector =3× Area of sector with angle A

=3×60360×π×(3.5)2=12×227×3.5×3.5=11×510×3510=112×72=774=19.25cm2

and

 Area of ABC=34×(7)2[ area of an equilateral triangle =34( side )2]=4934cm2

Area of shaded region enclosed between these circles = Area of ABC

-Area of each sector

=493419.25=12.25×319.25=21.217619.25=1.9676cm2

Hence, the required area enclosed between these circles is 1.967cm2 (approx).

8 Find the area of the sector of a circle of radius 5cm, if the corresponding arc length is 3.5cm.

Show Answer

Solution

Let the central angle of the sector be θ.

Given that, radius of the sector of a circle (r)=5cm and arc length (l)=3.5cm

Central angle of the sector, θ= arc length (l) radius 

θ=3.55=0.7Rθ=lrθ=0.7×180π1R=180πD

Now, area of sector with angle θ=0.7×180π

=πr2360×(0.7)×180π=(5)22×0.7=25×72×10=17520=8.75cm2

Hence, required area of the sector of a circle is 8.75cm2.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, four circular cardboard pieces arc placed on a paper in such a way that each piece touches other two pieces.

Now, we join centre of all four circles to each other by a line segment. Since, radius of each circle is 7cm.

So,

AB=2× Radius of circle =2×7=14cmAB=BC=CD=AD=14cm

which shows that, quadrilateral ABCD is a square with each of its side is 14cm.

We know that, each angle between two adjacent sides of a square is 90.

Area of sector with A=90

=A360×πr2=90360×π×(7)2=14×227×49=1544=772=38.5cm2

Area of each sector =4× Area of sector with A

=4×38.5=154cm2

and area of square ABCD=( side of square )2

=(14)2=196cm2[ area of square =( side )2]

So, area of shaded region enclosed between these pieces = Area of square ABCD - Area of each sector

=196154=42cm2

Hence, required area of the portion enclosed between these pieces is 42cm2.

10 On a square cardboard sheet of area 784cm2, four congruent circular plates of maximum size are placed such that each circular plate touches the other two plates and each side of the square sheet is tangent to two circular plates. Find the area of the square sheet not covered by the circular plates.

Show Answer

Solution

Area of square =784

( Side )2=(28)2 Side =28cm

Since, all four are congruent circular plates.

Diameter of each circular plate =14cm

Radius of each circular plate =7cm

Now, area of one circular plate =πr2=227(7)2

=154cm2

Area of four circular plates =4×154=616cm2

Area of the square sheet not covered by the circular plates =784616=168cm2

11 Floor of a room is of dimensions 5m×4m and it is covered with circular tiles of diameters 50cm each as shown infigure. Find area of floor that remains uncovered with tiles. (use π=3.14 )

Show Answer

Solution

Given, floor of a room is covered with circular tiles.

Length of a floor of a room (l)=5m

and breadth of floor of a room (b)=4m

Area of floor of a room =l×b

=5×4=20m2

Diameter of each circular tile =50cm

Radius of each circular tile =502=25cm

=25100m=14m[ diameter =2× radius ]

Now, area of a circular tile =π (radius )2

=3.14×142=3.1416m2

Area of 80 circular tiles =80×3.1416=5×3.14=15.7m2

[80 congruent circular tiles covering the floor of a room ] So, area of floor that remains uncovered with tiles = Area of floor of a room - Area of 80 circular tiles

=2015.7=4.3m2

Hence, the required area of floor that remains uncovered with tiles is 4.3m2.

12 All the vertices of a rhombus lie on a circle. Find the area of the rhombus, if area of the circle is 1256cm2. (use π=3.14 )

Show Answer

Solution

Let the radius of the circle be r.

Given that,

πr2=1256

r2=1256π=12563.14=400r2=(20)2r=20cm

So, the radius of circle is 20cm.

Diameter of circle =2× Radius

=2×20=40cm

Since, all the vertices of a rhombus lie on a circle that means each diagonal of a rhombus must pass through the centre of a circle that is why both diagonals are equal and same as the diameter of the given circle.

Let d1 and d2 be the diagonals of the rhombus.

d1=d2= Diameter of circle =40cm

So, Area of rhombus =12×d1×d2

=12×40×40=20×40=800cm2

Hence, the required area of rhombus is 800cm2.

In 1min, minute hand revolving =36060

 In (6:05 am to 6:40am)=35min, minute hand revolving =36060×35=6×35

Given that, length of minute hand (r)=5cm.

Area of sector AOBA with angle O=π2360×O

=227(5)2360×6×35=227×5×5360×6×35=22×5×5×560=22×5×512=11×5×56=2756=4556cm2

Hence, the required area swept by the minute land is 4556cm2.

15 Area of a sector of central angle 200 of a circle is 770cm2. Find the length of the corresponding arc of this sector.

Show Answer

Solution

Let the radius of the sector AOBA be r.

Given that, Central angle of sector AOBA=θ=200

and area of the sector AOBA=770cm2

We know that, area of the sector =πr2360×θ

Area of the sector, 770=π2360×200

77×18π=r2r2=77×1822×7r2=9×49r=3×7r=21cm

So, radius of the sector AOBA=21cm.

Now, the length of the correspoding arc of this sector = Central angle × Radius θ=lr

=200×21×π1801=π180R=2018×21×227=2203cm=7313cm

Hence, the required length of the corresponding arc is 7313cm.

16 The central angles of two sectors of circles of radii 7cm and 21cm are respectively 120 and 40. Find the areas of the two sectors as well as the lengths of the corresponding arcs. What do you observe?

Show Answer

Solution

Let the lengths of the corresponding arc be l1 and l2.

Given that, radius of sector PO1QP=7cm and radius of sector AO2BA=21cm Central angle of the sector PO1QP=120 and central angle of the sector AO2BA=40

Area of the sector with central angle O1

=π2360×θ=π(7)2360×120=227×7×7360×120=22×73=1543cm2

and area of the sector with central angle O2

=π2360×θ=π(21)2360×40=227×21×21360×40=22×3×219=22×7=154cm2

Now, corresponding arc length of the sector PO1QP

= Central angle × Radius of the sector =120×7×π180=23×7×227=443cm

and corresponding arc length of the sector AO2BA

= Central angle × Radius of the sector =40×21×π180=29×21×227=23×22=443cm

Hence, we observe that arc lengths of two sectors of two different circles may be equal but their area need not be equal.

17 Find the area of the shaded region given in figure.

Show Answer

Solution

Join JK,KL,LM and MJ.

Their are four equally semi-circles and LMJK formed a square.

FH=14(3+3)=8cm

So, the side of square should be 4cm and radius of semi-circle of both ends are 2cm each.

 Area of square JKLM=(4)2=16cm2 Area of semi-circle HJM=πr22=π×(2)22=2πcm2 Area of four semi-circle =4×6.28=25.12cm2 Now,  area of square ABCD=(14)2=196cm2 Area of shaded region = Area of square ABCD - [Area of four semi-circle + Area of square JKLM] =196[8π+16]=196168π=(1808π)cm2

Hence, the required of the shaded region is (1808π)cm2.

18 Find the number of revolutions made by a circular wheel of area 1.54m2 in rolling a distance of 176m.

Show Answer

Solution

Let the number of revolutions made by a circular wheel be n and the radius of circular wheel ber.

Given that, area of circular wheel =1.54m2

πr2=1.54r2=1.5422×7r2=0.49r=0.7m

So, the radius of the wheel is 0.7m.

Distance travelled by a circlular wheel in one revolution = Circumference of circular wheel

=2πr=2×227×0.7=225=4.4m[ circumference of a circle =2πr]

Since, distance travelled by a circular wheel =176m

Number of revolutions = Total  distance  Distance in one revolution =1764.4=40

Hence, the required number of revolutions made by a circular wheel is 40 .

19 Find the difference of the areas of two segments of a circle formed by a chord of length 5cm subtending an angle of 90 at the centre.

Show Answer

Solution

Let the radius of the circle be r.

OA=OB=rcm Given that, length of chord of a circle, AB=5cm and central angle of the sector AOBA(θ)=90 Now, in AOB(AB)2=(OA)2+(OB)2 [by Pythagoras theorem] 2r2=25r=52cm

Now, in AOB we drawn a perpendicular line OD, which meets at D on AB and divides chord AB into two equal parts.

So,

AD=DB=AB2=52cm

[since, the perpendicular drawn from the centre to the chord of a circle divides the chord into two equal parts]

By Pythagoras theorem, in ADO,

(OA)2=OD2+AD2OD2=OA2AD2=522522=252254=50254=254OD=52cm=12×5×52=254cm2

Now, area of sector AOBA =π2360×θ=π×522360×90

=π×252×4=25π8cm2

Area of minor segment = Area of sector AOBA Area of an isosceles AOB

(i)=25π8254cm2

Now, area of the circle =π2=π52=25π2cm2

Area of major segment = Area of circle - Area of minor segment

=25π225π8254=25π8(41)+254(i)=75π8+254cm2

Difference of the areas of two segments of a circle =∣ Area of major segment - Area of minor segment|

=|75π8+25425π4254|=|75π825π825π8+254|=|75π25π8+504|=|50π8+504|=25π4+252cm2

Hence, the required difference of the areas of two segments is 25π4+252cm2.

20 Find the difference of the areas of a sector of angle 120 and its corresponding major sector of a circle of radius 21cm.

=22×3×21=1386cm2

Now, area of the minor sector AOBA with central angle 120

=π2360×θ=227×21×21360×120=22×3×213=22×21=462cm2

Area of the major sector ABOA

= Area of the circle  Area of the sector AOBA=1386462=924cm2

Difference of the areas of a sector AOBA and its corresponding major sector ABOA

=∣ Area of major sector ABOA Area of minor sector AOBA=|924462|=462cm2

Hence, the required difference of two sectors is 462cm2.
