Find the area of the shaded region in the given figure, where a circular arc of radius 6 cm has been drawn with vertex of an equilateral triangle of side 12 cm as centre and a sector of circle of radius 6 cm with centre B is made. [Use √3 = 1.73 and π = 3.14.]

Area of shaded region can be calculated by subtracting the area of minor sector at vertex B from the sum of areas of the major sector at O and area of equilateral triangle.


Given Radius of circle at O = r = 6 cm


Side of equilateral triangle = a = 12 cm


Central angle at O = 360 -60 = 300°


Central angle at B = 60°


Area of the equilateral triangle =


where a = side of equilateral triangle


Area of the equilateral triangle = (putting the value of a)


Area of the equilateral triangle = (144×√3)/4


Area of the equilateral triangle = 36√3 cm2 eqn1


Area of sector = θ/360×πR2 where r = radius of the sector


Area of minor sector at B = 60/360×π×(62) (given)


Area of minor sector at B = 6π cm2 eqn2


Similarly,



Area of major sector at O = 30π cm2 eqn3


Area of shaded region = eqn1 + eqn3 – eqn2


On putting values


Area of shaded region = 36√3 + 30π-6π


Area of shaded region = 36√3 + 24π


(put π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73


Area of shaded region = (36×1.73) + (24×3.14)


Area of shaded region = 62.28 + 75.36


Area of shaded region = 137.64 cm2


Area of the shaded region is 137.64 cm2.
