Example.1) In the figure alongside, OAB is a quadrant of a circle. The radius OA = 3.5 cm and OD = 2 cm. calculate the area of the unshadded or uncolured portion. (π = 22/7)
Ans.)
We have –

Area of △OAD = ------ X OA X OD = (------ X 3.5 X 2) cm²

Area of unshadded or uncolured portion
= (Area of quadrant OAB) – (Area of △OAD)
= (9.625 – 3.5) cm²
= 6.125 cm²
soo, the area of unshadded portion is 6.125 cm² (Ans.)
Example.2) ABC is an isosceles triangle with ∠ABC = 90⁰, A semi circle s drawn with AC as diameter. If AB = BC = 7 cm, find the area of the shaded region . (Taken π = 22/7)

Example.3) A doorwayis decorated as shown in the figure, there are four semi-circles. BC, the diameter of the larger semi-circle is of length 84 cm. centres of three equal semi-circles lie on BC. ABC is isosceles triangle with AB = AC. If BO = OC, find the area of the shadded region. (take π = 22/7)
Ans.)
Join OA.
BC = 84 cm
=> OB = OC = 42 cm
Radius of larger circle (R) = 42 cm
Sum of diameters of 3 small semi circles = 84 cm
So, diameter of the each small semi circle = 84/3 cm = 28 cm
Radius of each small semi-circle (r) = 28/2 = 14 cm
Also, ∠AOB = ∠AOC = 90ᵒ

Area of larger semi-circle = ------ (πR²)

1 22
= (------ X ------ X 42 X 42) cm² = 2772 cm²

Area of each of the smaller semi-circles = ----- (πr²)

= (------ X ------ X 14 X 14) cm² = 308 cm²
2 7
Area of 3 smaller semi-circles = (308 X 3) cm² = 924 cm²
Area of △ABC = 1/2 X BC X OA = 1/2 X 84 X 42 = 1764 cm²
Area of shadded Region = (Area of large semi-circle) + (Area of 3 smaller semi-circles) – (Area of △ABC)
= (2772 + 924 – 1764) cm²
= (3696 – 1764) cm² = 1932 cm²
Hence, the area of shadded region 1932 cm² (Ans.)
Example.4) In the given figure, a circle circumscribes a rectangle with sides 12 cm & 9 cm. Calculate –
(i) The Circumference of the Circle to nearest cm
(ii) The area of the shadded Region, Correct to 2 places of Decimal in cm². Take π = 3.14
Ans.)
Let ABCD be the rectangle with AB = 12 cm, and BC = 9 cm
So, AC² = AB² + BC²
Or, AC = √(AB² + BC²) = √(12² + 9²)
= √(144 + 81) = √225 = 15 cm
Let, ‘O’ be the midpoint of AC. Then ‘O’ is the center and OA the radius of the circum circle.
So, radius OA = AC/2 = 15/2 = 7.5 cm
So, now the circumference of the circle = 2πr
= (2 X 3.14 X 7.5) [π = 3.14 given]
= 47.1 cm
Hence, the circumference of the circle, correct to nearest cm is 47 cm ............(i) (Ans.)
The area of the green region is
= (Area of the circle) – (Area of the rectangle)
= πr²- (l X w)
= [(3.14 X 7.5 X 7.5) – (12 X 9)]
= (176. 625 – 108) cm²
= 68.625 cm²
= 68.63 cm²
The area of the shadded region, correct to 2 decimal places in cm² is 68.63 cm² ...................(ii) (Ans.)
