In figure ABC is a triangle right angled at B with AB=14cm and BC=24cm with vertices A,B and C as center arces are drawn, each of radius 7cm. Find area of shaded region.
Radius of each sector (r) = 7 cm Let θ1 ,θ2and θ3 be the angles of sectors (angle of triangle) ⇒ θ1+θ2+θ3=180∘(Angle sum-property)
Area of shaded region = Area of ΔAC – Area of 3 sectors =12×AB×BC−πr2360∘[θ1+θ2+θ3][Area of sector=πr2θ360∘] =12×14×24−π×7×7360∘×180∘ [AB = 14 cm, BC = 24 cm(given)] =168−227×7×72 =168−11×7 = 168 – 77 =91 cm2
