Area of quadrant =


Area of quadrant =


Area of 4 quadrant = = 2×19.25 = 38.50m2


Area of remaining part = (area of rectangle-area of 4 quadrant)


Area of remaining part = 300 – 38.50 = 261.5m2



Question 5.

Four equal circles, each of radius 5cm, touch each other as showing fig.15.65. Find the area included between them.




Answer:

Given,


Radius of each circle = 5cm


So,


Side of square = 10cm


Area of square = (10)2 = 100cm2

Four cows are tethered at four corners of a square plot of side 50m, so that they just cannot reach one another. What area will be left un-grazed?



Answer:

Side of square = 50m


Area of square = (5)2 = 2500m2


Radius of quadrant circle = 25m


Area of one quadrant =


Area of 4 quadrants =


So,


Area which left un-grazed = 2500-1964.28 = 535.72m2

Answer:

Given,


Circumference of park = 352m


Width of road = 7m


Let radius of park = r


2πr = 352



Area of circle =

Question 8.

Four equal circles, each of radius a, touch each other. Show that the area between them is.


Answer:

Radius of each circle = a meter


If we join the centre of each circle it makes a square of side = 2a


Area of square = (2a)2 = 4a2m2


Area of each quadrant of circle =


Area of 4 quadrants =


So,


Area between circles = 4a2 – πa2

Answer:

Side of water tank = 40m


Side of semi circular grassy plots =


Area of one grassy plot =



Area of grassy plots = 4×200π = 800π


Area of grassy plots = 800 × 3.14 = 2512 cm2


Cost of surfing 1m2 plot = 1.25 Rs


Cost of surfing 2512m2 = 2512 × 1.25 = 3140 Rs

Breadth of rectangular park = 50m


Radius of flower bed along length of park =


Area of flower bed along length of park =



Radius of flower bed along width =


Area of flower bed along width =


Total area of flower beds = 7850+1962.50 = 4812.50m2


So,


Cost of leveling semicircular flower beds = 9812.50×.60 = Rs 5887.50



Question 11.

Prove that the area of a circular path of uniform width h surrounding a circular region of radius is.


Answer:

Area of inner circle with radius r = πr2


Radius of outer circle = r+h


Area of outer circle = π(r+h)2


Area of circular path with width = h


= π(r+h)2 – πr2


By using (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 +2ab


= π(r2 + h2 + 2rh) – πr2


=πr2 + πh2 + 2πrh – πr2


= πh(2r+h)… Proved



Question 12.

The inside perimeter of a running track (showninFig.15.67) is 400m. The length of each of the straight portion is 90m and the ends are semi-circles. If the track is everywhere 14m wide, find the area of the track. Also find the length of the outer running track.



Answer:

Given,


Inside perimeter of track = 400m


Length of straight portion = 90m


Width of path = 14m


Total length of straight path = 90+90 = 180m


Remaining length = 400 – 180 = 220m


This length includes two semi circles or a complete circle.


So,


2πr = 220m



Then,


Area of path = (area of rectangles ABCD + rectangle EFGH + two semicircles)


= 14×90+14×90+π [(25+14)2 – 352]


[(a2 – b2) = (a+b)(a-b)]



Area of path = 6216m2


Length of outer track = 90+90+2πr


r = 35+14 = 49



= 180 +308 = 488m2

Answer:

Given,


Side of square = 8cm


Radius of quadrant circle = 1.4 cm


Radius of inner-circle = 4.2


Area of square = (side)2 = 82 = 64cm


Area of one quadrant of circle =


Area of one quadrant of circle =


So,


Area of 2 quadrant = 2×1.54 = 3.08cm2


Area of inner circle = πr2 = 3.14×4.2×4.2 = 55.44 cm2


Area of shaded portion = area of square – (area of quadrants + area of inner circle)


= 64 – (3.08 + 55.44)


= 64 – 58.52 = 5.48 cm2



Question 17.

Find the area of the shaded region in Fig.15.72, if AC=24cm, BC=10cm and O is the centre of the circle.



Answer:

Given,


AC = 24 cm


BC = 10 cm


By Pythagoras theorem


AB2 = AC2 + BC2


= 242+102 = 576 + 100 = 676


AB = = 26cm


Radius of semi-circle with diameter AB = = 13cm


Area of semi-circle = = 265.33cm2


Area of triangle ABC = = 120cm2


So,


Area of shaded region = area of semi-circle – area of triangle


= 265.33 – 120 = 145.33 cm2



Question 18.

= 49 – 38.5 = 10.5 cm2



Question 19.

A circular pond is of diameter 17.5m. It is surrounded by a 2m wide path. Find the cost of constructing the path at the rate of Rs. 25 per square meter


Answer:

Given,


Diameter of circular pond = 17.5m


Radius of circular pond = = 8.75m


Radius of outer circle = (radius of inner circle + width of circular path)


= 8.75+2 = 10.25m


Area of circular path = (area of outer circle – area of inner circle)


= π(R2 – r2)


= π(R+r)(R-r)


= (10.75+8.75)(10.75-8.75)


= × 19.50 × 2 = 3061.50 m2

Answer:

Given,


Perimeter of semi-circle = 72m


Width of path around it = 3.5m


Perimeter of semi-circle = πr+2r


= r +2r = 72


= 22r+14r = 72×7


r = = 14cm


Radius including the width of path(R) = r+3.5 = 14+3.5 = 17.5m


So, area of path =

Area of equilateral triangle =


=


We know that an equilateral triangle always subtend an angle of 60 at centre area of sector =


=


= = 25.666cm2


This area is common in both the figure so,


Area of shaded region = (area of circle + area of equilateral triangle - 2×area of sector)


= (154+84.77-2×25.67)


= (238.77-51.33) = 187.44cm2



Question 23.

A child makes a poster on a chart paper drawing a square ABCD of side 14cm. She draws four circles with centre A,B,C and D in which she suggests different ways to save energy. The circles are drawn in such away that each circle touches externally two of the three remaining circles (Fig.15.74). In the shaded region she writes a message ‘Save Energy’. Find the perimeter and area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Given,


Side of square = 14cm


Radius of each circle = = 7cm


Area of square = (side)2 = 142 = 196cm2


Area of 4 quadrants of circle =



Area of shaded region = area of square – area of 4 quadrants


= 196 – 154 = 42cm2


Perimeter of shaded region = ×2πr



So, total perimeter of 4 circles = 4×11 = 44cm
