n the figure, ABC is a right angled triangle with ∠B = 90°, BC = 21 cm and AB = 28 cm. With AC as diameter of a semicircle and with BC as radius, a quadratic circle is drawn. Find the area of the shaded portion (Approximately)
(A) | 428.75 cm2 | (B) | 857.50 cm2
|
Area of shaded region= Area of semi-circle with AC as diameter + Area of ΔABC – Area of quadrant of circle with BC as radius
In right ΔABC,
By Pythagoras theorem,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒AC2 = (28 cm )2 + (21 cm)2
⇒ AC2 = 1225 cm2
⇒ AC = 35 cm
∴ Area of the shaded region,
Thus, the area of the shaded region = 428.75 cm2.
