CBSE 10th Maths -  Areas Related to Circles- Exercise 12.3

Question 1 Find the area of the shaded region in Fig. 12.19, if PQ = 24 cm, PR = 7 cm and O is the centre of the circle.

Solution:

Here, P is in the semi-circle, and so,

P = 90°

So, it can be concluded that QR is the hypotenuse of the circle and is equal to the diameter of the circle.

QR = D

Using the Pythagorean theorem,

$QR^2 = PR^2+PQ^2$

Or, $QR^2 = 7^2+24^2$

QR= 25 cm = Diameter

Hence, the radius of the circle = $\dfrac{25}{2}$ cm

Now, the area of the semicircle = $\dfrac{πR^2}{2}$

= $\dfrac{\dfrac{22}{7}×\dfrac{25}{2}×\dfrac{25}{2}}{2}$ $cm^2$

= $\dfrac{13750}{56}$ $cm^2$ = 245.54 $cm^2$

Also, the area of the ΔPQR = $\dfrac{1}{2}×PR×PQ$

=$\dfrac{1}{2}×7×24$ $cm^2$

= 84 $cm^2$

Hence, the area of the shaded region = 245.54 $cm^2$ - 84 $cm^2$

= 161.54 $cm^2$

Question 2 Find the area of the shaded region in Fig. 12.20, if radii of the two concentric circles with centre O are 7 cm and 14 cm respectively and $\angle AOC$ = 40°.

Solution:

Given,

Angle made by sector = 40°,

Radius the inner circle = r = 7 cm, and

Radius of the outer circle = R = 14 cm

We know,

Area of the sector = $\dfrac{θ}{360°}×πr^2$

So, Area of OAC = $\dfrac{40°}{360°}×πr^2 cm^2$

=$\dfrac{1}{9}×\dfrac{22}{7}×14^2$ = 68.44 $cm^2$

Area of the sector OBD = $\dfrac{40°}{360°}×πr^2$ $cm^2$

=$\dfrac{1}{9}×\dfrac{22}{7}×7^2 = 17.11$ $cm^2$

Now, the area of the shaded region ABDC = Area of OAC – Area of the OBD

= 68.44 $cm^2$ – 17.11 $cm^2$ = 51.33 $cm^2$

Question 3 Find the area of the shaded region in Fig. 12.21, if ABCD is a square of side 14 cm and APD and BPC are semicircles.

Solution:

Side of the square ABCD (as given) = 14 cm

So, the Area of ABCD = $a^2$

= 14×14 $cm^2$ = 196 $cm^2$

We know that the side of the square = diameter of the circle = 14 cm

So, the side of the square = diameter of the semicircle = 14 cm

the radius of the semicircle = 7 cm

Now, the area of the semicircle = $\dfrac{πR^2}{2}$

= $\dfrac{(\dfrac{22}{7}×7×7)}{2}$ $cm^2$

= 77 $cm^2$

he area of two semicircles = 2×77 $cm^2$ = 154 $cm^2$

Hence, the area of the shaded region = Area of the Square – Area of two semicircles

= 196 $cm^2$ -154 $cm^2$

= 42 $cm^2$

Question 4 Find the area of the shaded region in Fig. 12.22, where a circular arc of radius 6 cm has been drawn with vertex O of an equilateral triangle OAB of side 12 cm as centre.

Solution:

It is given that OAB is an equilateral triangle having each angle as 60°

The area of the sector is common in both.

The radius of the circle = 6 cm

Side of the triangle = 12 cm

Area of the equilateral triangle = $\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4} (OA)^2= \dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}×12^2 = 36\sqrt3$ $cm^2$

Area of the circle = $πR^2 = \dfrac{22}{7}×6^2 = \dfrac{792}{7}$ $cm^2$

Area of the sector making angle 60° = $\dfrac{60°}{360°} ×πr^2$ $cm^2$

= $\dfrac{1}{6}×\dfrac{22}{7}× 6^2$ $cm^2$ = $\dfrac{132}{7}$ $cm^2$

Area of the shaded region = Area of the equilateral triangle + Area of the circle – Area of the sector

= $36\sqrt3$ $cm^2$ +$\dfrac{792}{7}$ $cm^2$- $\dfrac{132}{7}$ $cm^2$

= $36\sqrt3+\dfrac{660}{7} cm^2$

Question 5 From each corner of a square of side 4 cm a quadrant of a circle of radius 1 cm is cut and also a circle of diameter 2 cm is cut as shown in Fig. 12.23. Find the area of the remaining portion of the square.

Solution:

Side of the square = 4 cm

The radius of the circle = 1 cm

Four quadrants of a circle are cut from the corner, and one circle of radius are cut from the middle.

Area of the square = $(side)^2= 4^2 = 16$ $cm^2$

Area of the quadrant = $\dfrac{πR^2}{4}$ $cm^2$ = $\dfrac{22}{7}×\dfrac{1^2}{4} = \dfrac{11}{14}$ $cm^2$

Total area of the 4 quadrants =$4 × \dfrac{11}{14}$ $cm^2$ = $\dfrac{22}{7}$ $cm^2$

Area of the circle = $πR^2 cm^2 = (\dfrac{22}{7}×1^2) = \dfrac{22}{7} cm^2$

Area of the shaded region = Area of the square – (Area of the 4 quadrants + Area of the circle)

= $16 cm^2-\dfrac{22}{7} cm^2 – \dfrac{22}{7}$ $cm^2$

= $\dfrac{68}{7}$ $cm^2$

Question 6 In a circular table cover of radius 32 cm, a design is formed leaving an equilateral triangle ABC in the middle as shown in Fig. 12.24. Find the area of the design.

Solution:

The radius of the circle = 32 cm

Draw a median AD of the triangle passing through the centre of the circle.

BD = $\dfrac{AB}{2}$

Since, AD is the median of the triangle

AO = Radius of the circle = =$\dfrac{2}{3}$ AD

$\dfrac{2}{3}$ AD = 32 cm

AD = 48 cm

In ΔADB,

By Pythagoras’ theorem,

$AB^2 = AD^2 +BD^2$

$AB^2 = 48^2+(\dfrac{AB}{2})^2$

$AB^2 = 2304+\dfrac{AB^2}{4}$

$\dfrac{3}{4} (AB^2)$= 2304

$AB^2 = 3072$

$AB= 32\sqrt{3}$ cm

Area of ΔADB = $\sqrt{3}/4 ×(32\sqrt{3})^2 cm^2 = 768\sqrt{3}$ $cm^2$

Area of the circle = $πR^2 = \dfrac{22}{7}×32×32 = \dfrac{22528}{7}$ $cm^2$

Area of the design = Area of the circle – Area of ΔADB

= $\dfrac{22528}{7} – 768\sqrt{3}$ $cm^2$

Question 7 In Fig. 12.25, ABCD is a square of side 14 cm. With centres A, B, C and D, four circles are drawn such that each circle touch externally two of the remaining three circles. Find the area of the shaded region.

Solution:

Side of square = 14 cm

Four quadrants are included in the four sides of the square.

radius of the circles = $\dfrac{14}{2}$ cm = 7 cm

Area of the square ABCD = $14^2$ = 196 $cm^2$

Area of the quadrant = $\dfrac{πR^2}{4}$ $cm^2$ = $\dfrac{22}{7} ×\dfrac{7^2}{4}$ $cm^2$

= $\dfrac{77}{2}$ $cm^2$

Total area of the quadrant = $\dfrac{4×77}{2}$ $cm^2$ = 154$cm^2$

Area of the shaded region = Area of the square ABCD – Area of the quadrant

= 196 $cm^2$ – 154 $cm^2$

= 42 $cm^2$

Question 8 Fig. 12.26 depicts a racing track whose left and right ends are semicircular.

The distance between the two inner parallel line segments is 60 m and they are each 106 m long. If the track is 10 m wide,
find :
(i) the distance around the track along its inner edge
(ii) the area of the track.
Solution:

Width of the track = 10 m

Distance between two parallel lines = 60 m

Length of parallel tracks = 106 m

DE = CF = 60 m

The radius of the inner semicircle, r = OD = O’C

= $\dfrac{60}{2}$ m = 30 m

The radius of the outer semicircle, R = OA = O’B

= 30+10 m = 40 m

Also, AB = CD = EF = GH = 106 m

(i)the distance around the track along its inner edge

Distance around the track along its inner edge = CD+EF+2×(Circumference of inner semicircle)

= 106+106+(2×πr) m = $212+\dfrac{2×22}{7×30}$ m

= $212+\dfrac{1320}{7} $m = $\dfrac{1484+1320}{7} $m = $\dfrac{2804}{7}$ m

Area of the track

Area of the track = Area of ABCD + Area EFGH + 2 × (area of outer semicircle) – 2 × (area of inner semicircle)

= $(AB×CD)+(EF×GH)+2×\dfrac{πr^2}{2} -2×\dfrac{πr^2}{2}$ $m^2$

= $(106×10)+(106×10)+2×\dfrac{π}{2}(r^2-R^2)$ $m^2$

= $2120+\dfrac{22}{7}×70×10$ $m^2$

= 4320 $m^2$

Question 9 In Fig. 12.27, AB and CD are two diameters of a circle (with centre O) perpendicular to each other and OD is the diameter of the smaller circle. If OA = 7 cm, find the area of the shaded region.

Solution:

The radius of larger circle, R = 7 cm

The radius of smaller circle, r = $\dfrac{7}{2}$ cm

Height of ΔBCA = OC = 7 cm

Base of ΔBCA = AB = 14 cm

Area of ΔBCA = $\dfrac{1}{2} × AB × OC = \dfrac{1}{2}×7×14 = 49$ $cm^2$

Area of larger circle = $πR^2 = \dfrac{22}{7}×7^2 = 154$ $cm^2$

Area of larger semicircle = $\dfrac{154}{2}$ $cm^2$ = 77 $cm^2$

Area of smaller circle = $πr^2 = \dfrac{22}{7}×\dfrac{7}{2}×\dfrac{7}{2} = \dfrac{77}{2}$ $cm^2$

Area of the shaded region = Area of the larger circle – Area of the triangle – Area of the larger semicircle + Area of the smaller circle

Area of the shaded region = $154-49-77+\dfrac{77}{2}$ $cm^2$

= $\dfrac{133}{2}$ $cm^2$ = 66.5 $cm^2$

Question 10 The area of an equilateral triangle ABC is 17320.5 $cm^2$. With each vertex of the triangle as centre, a circle is drawn with radius equal to half the length of the side of the triangle (see Fig. 12.28). Find the area of the shaded region. (Use $\pi$ = 3.14 and $\sqrt3$ = 1.73205)

Solution:

ABC is an equilateral triangle.

$\angle A = \angle B = \angle C = 60°$

There are three sectors, each making 60°.

Area of ΔABC = 17320.5 $cm^2$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4} ×(side)^2 = 17320.5$

$(side)^2 =\dfrac{17320.5×4}{1.73205}$

$(side)^2 = 4×10^4$

side = 200 cm

Radius of the circles = $\dfrac{200}{2}$ cm = 100 cm

Area of the sector = $\dfrac{60°}{360°}×π r^2$ $cm^2$

= $\dfrac{1}{6}×3.14×(100)^2$ $cm^2$

= $\dfrac{15700}{3}$ $cm^2$

Area of 3 sectors = $\dfrac{3×15700}{3} = 15700$ $cm^2$

Thus, the area of the shaded region = Area of an equilateral triangle ABC – Area of 3 sectors

= 17320.5-15700 $cm^2$ = 1620.5 $cm^2$
