*See attached diagram
The sides are 6m, 10cm and 8cm (Given)
Check if it is a right angle triangle:
a² + b² = 6² + 10²
a² + b² = 100
√100 = 10 = c
⇒ Hence the triangle is a right angle triangle
Find the area of the big triangle:
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24 m²
Find the area of the 3 small triangle:
Split the triangles as indicated by the picture, radius being the height of all the 3 triangles.
Area of Δ BOC = 1/2 x 6 x r = 3r
Area of Δ AOB = 1/2 x 8 x r = 4r
Area of Δ AOC = 1/2 x 10 x r = 5r
Total area = 3r + 4r + 5r = 12r
Solve r:
12r = 24 m³
r = 24 ÷ 12 = 2 m
Find the area of the circle:
Area of the circle = πr²
Area of the circle = π(2)² = 4π = 12.57 m²
Answer: Area of the circle = 12.57 m²
