Q9: A circular park is surrounded by a road 21 m wide. If the radius of the park is 105 m, find the area of the road. (CBSE 2020)

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles  View Answer

Ans: 

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles

Given: Width of road = 21 m 
Radius of park, r= 105 m  
⇒ Radius of the whole circular portion (park + road) 
r2 = 105 + 21 = 126 m 
So, Area of road = Area of park and road – Area of park 
Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles
Hence, the area of the road is 15246 m2.

Q16: Two circles touch internally. The sum of their areas is 116π cm2 and the distance between their centres is 6 cm. Find the radii of the circles. (CBSE 2017)

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles  View Answer

Ans: Let ‘r’ and ‘R’ be the radii of the smaller and bigger circles, respectively. 
Then, OO’ = R – r = 6 cm [Given] ...(i) 
Also, sum of their areas = 116π cm2
i.e., πR2 + πr2 = 116π

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles⇒ R2 + r2 = 116 ...(ii)
We know, (R – r)2 = R2 + r2 – 2Rr 
⇒ (6)2 = 116 – 2Rr 
⇒ 2Rr = 116 – 36 = 80 
⇒ Rr = 40 ...(iii) 
Also, (R + r)2 = R+ r2 + 2Rr = 116 + 2 × 40 [Using (ii) and (iii)] 
⇒ (R + r)2 = 196 
⇒ R + r = 14 ...(iv) 
Now, adding equations (i) and (iv), we get 
2R = 20 
⇒ R = 10 cm 
Putting the value of R in equation (i), we get 
r = 4 cm 
Hence, the radii of the bigger and smaller circles are 10 cm and 4 cm, respectively.

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles  View Answer

Ans: Given, A circle of radius (r) = 10 cm in which ∠AOB = 90º. 
Area of the minor segment AQBP = Area of sector OAPB – Area of ΔAOB 
= θ / 360° × πr2 – 1 /2 × OA × OB 
= 90 / 360 °  × 3.14 × 10 × 10 – 1/ 2 × 10 × 10 
= 3.14 × 5 × 5 – 5 × 10 
= 78.5 – 50 
= 28.5 cm2 

So, Area of the minor segment AQBP = 28.5 cm2
Area of the major segment ALBQA = Area of circle – Area of minor segment AQBP 
= 3.14 × (10)2 – 28.5 
= 314 – 28.5 
= 285.5 cm2
Area of major segment ALBQA = 285.5 cm2. Hence, the area of the minor segment AQBP is 28.5 cm2 and the area of the major segment ALBQA is 285.5 cm2.

Q26: Find the area of the shaded region given in Fig.    (Delhi 2015)
Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles

Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles  View Answer

Ans: Side of the square = 14 cm
Area of the square = a2
= 142 - 196 cm2
Let radius of a semicircle=x
radius of two semicircles = 2x
side of inner square = diameter of semicircle = 2x
According to figure 2x + 2x = 8
4x = 8 ⇒ x = 2 cm
⇒ Side of inner square = 4 cm
Area of unshaded region = area of inner square + 4 (Area of a semicircle)
Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles
∴ Area of shaded region = area of square - area of unshaded region
= (196-16-871) cm2 = (180-8π) cm2
= 180-8 x 3.14 = 180-25.12 = 154.88 cm2

FAQs on Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Previous Year Questions - Areas Related to Circles

1. What are the key formulas related to the area and circumference of a circle that Class 10 students should know?
Ans. Class 10 students should know the following key formulas: - Circumference of a circle: \( C = 2\pi r \) or \( C = \pi d \), where \( r \) is the radius and \( d \) is the diameter. - Area of a circle: \( A = \pi r^2 \), where \( r \) is the radius.
2. How can we calculate the area of a sector of a circle?
Ans. The area of a sector of a circle can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area of sector} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2 \] where \( \theta \) is the angle of the sector in degrees and \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
3. What is the relationship between the radius and diameter of a circle, and how does it affect area calculations?
Ans. The diameter of a circle is twice the radius, expressed as \( d = 2r \). This relationship is crucial because when calculating the area using the radius, if the diameter is given, it must first be converted to radius by dividing by 2 before using the area formula \( A = \pi r^2 \).
4. How do you find the circumference of a circle if you only know the area?
Ans. To find the circumference when only the area is known, first use the area formula \( A = \pi r^2 \) to solve for the radius: \[ r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} \] Then, substitute the radius into the circumference formula \( C = 2\pi r \).
5. What are some common mistakes students make when solving problems related to circles in Class 10?
Ans. Common mistakes include: - Confusing radius and diameter, leading to incorrect calculations. - Forgetting to convert degrees to radians when required. - Misapplying the formulas for area and circumference. - Not double-checking calculations for errors, especially with π approximations.
