In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle with AC = 24 cm, AB = 7 cm and BOD = 90°. Find the area of shaded region. [Use π = 3.14.]

Here in order to find the area of the shaded region (region excluding the area of segment AC and quadrant OCD) can be calculated by subtracting the area of triangle and quadrant OBD from the area of the circle.


Given AC = 24 cm, AB = 7 cm and BOD = 90°


Here we see that the triangle ACB is right angle triangle, therefore, we can apply Pythagoras theorem i.e.



BC2 = AC2 + AB2


BC2 = 242 + 72 (putting the given values)


BC2 = 576 + 49


BC2 = 625


BC = √625


BC = 25 cm


Area of ∆ACB = 1/2×AB×AC (Area of triangle = 1/2×base×height)


On putting values we get,



Area of ∆AED = 7×12


Area of ∆AED = 84 cm2 eqn1


Area of circle = πR2 (R = radius of circle)



R = 12.5 cm


Area of circle = π× 12.52


Area of circle = 156.25×3.14 (put π = 3.14)


Are of circle = 490.625 cm2 eqn2





Area of quadrant OBD = 122.65625 cm2 eqn3


Area of shaded region = Area of circle – Area of quadrant – Area of ∆


Area of shaded region = 490.625 – 84 – 122.65625 (from eqn1, 2 and 3)


Area of shaded region = 283.96875 cm2


Area of shaded region is 283.96875 cm2.
