Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Question Answers - Area Related to Circles

Sol: ∵ Radius of the circle = 70 cm and O is the centre of the circle.
∴ OA = OB = OC
Since ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle,
∴∠ABO = ∠BOC= ∠CDA = 120°
Draw OD⊥BC

Area of the shaded region Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Question Answers - Area Related to CirclesClass 10 Maths Chapter 11 Question Answers - Area Related to Circles

= 154 cm2 + 98 cm2 − 154 cm2 = 98 cm2.

Q8: In the figure, find the perimeter of the shaded region where, ADC, AEB and BFC are semicircles on diameters AC, AB and BC respectively.

Sol: Diameter of semi-circle ADC

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Question Answers - Area Related to Circles

= 2.1 cm
∴ Circumference of semi-circle ADC

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Question Answers - Area Related to Circles

Diameter of semi-circle AEB = 2.8 cm
⇒ Radius of semi-circle

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Question Answers - Area Related to Circles

∴ Circumference of semi-circle

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Question Answers - Area Related to Circles

Diameter of semi-circle BFC = 1.4 cm
⇒ Radius of semi-circle BFC = 0.7 cm
∴ Circumference of semi-circle BFC

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Question Answers - Area Related to Circles

∴ Total perimeter of the shaded region = 6.6 cm + 4.4 cm + 2.2 cm = 13.2 cm.

Q9: In the figure, arcs are drawn by taking vertices A, B and C of an equilateral triangle of side 10 cm to intersect the sides BC, CA and AB at their respective mid-points D, E and F. Find the area of the shaded region.
