Area of a shaded region 2 = ?



Soln


From the diagram:



  • The diagonal of the square = √98

  • A square’s diagonal = side × √2


So,


Side = √98 / √2 = √49 = 7 m


Area of the square


Area2 = 7×7 = 49 m2


Area of the quarter circle


Radius of the circle = side of square = 7 m
Quarter circle area:


Areaquarter =14πr2 =1/4×22/7×49


= 22/7 × 49/4 = 22 × 7/4 = 154/4 = 38.5


Shaded area


Shaded = Square area - Quarter circle area


= 49 - 38.5 = 10.5 m2


Ans: 10.5 m²
