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

C)

214.37 cm3

(D)

638.50 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.
