In Fig. 12.30, OACB is a quadrant of a circle with centre O and radius 3.5 cm. If OD = 2 cm, find the area of the
(i) Quadrant OACB
(ii) Shaded region.
(i) Since OACB is a quadrant, it will subtend 90° angle at O
Area of quadrant OACB = *
r2
= *
* (3.5)2
= *
* (
)2
=
= cm2
(ii) Area of ΔOBD = * OB * OD
= * 3.5 * 2
= *
* 2
= cm2
Area of the shaded region = Area of quadrant OACB - Area of ΔOBD
= -
=
= cm2
