Question 14
AB and CD are respectively arcs of two concentric circles of radii 21 cm and 7 cm and centre O (see figure). If AOB = 30 , find the area of the shaded region.
Area of shaded region
= Area of sector AOB Area of sector COD
Area of sector AOB
radius = r = 21 cm
& = 30
Area of sector AOB = /360 r2
= 30/360 22/7 21 21
= 1/12 22 3 21
= 231/2 cm2
Area of sector COD
radius = r = 7 cm
& = 30
Area of sector COD = /360 r2
= (30 )/360 22/7 (7)2
= 1/12 22/7 7 7
= 77/6 cm2
Now ,
Area of shaded region = Area of Sector OAB Area of sector OCD
= 231/2 77/6
= (3 231 77)/6
= (693 77)/6
= 616/6
= 308/3 cm2
Hence, area of shaded region = 308/3 cm2
