Question 3
Find the area of the shaded region in figure, where ABCD is a square of side 14 cm.
Area of shaded region = Area of square ABCD – Area of 4 circles
Area of square ABCD
Side of square = 14 cm
Area of square = (side)2
= (14)2
= 14 × 14
= 196 cm2
Area of 4 circles
Since ABCD is a square .
Hence, AB = BC = CD = AD = 14 cm
Now,
Diameter of each circle = 𝐴𝐵/2
= 14/2 = 7 cm
Radius of each circle = 𝐷𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟/2 = 7/2 cm
Area of one circle = 𝜋𝑟2
= 22/7×(7/2)^2
= 22/7×7/2×7/2
= (11 × 7)/2
= 77/2 cm2
So, Area of 4 circle = 4 × Area of one circle
= 4 × 77/2 cm2 = 154 cm2
Area of shaded region = Area of square ABCD – Area of 4 circles
= 196 – 154
= 42 cm2
