i  6  is answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option is

A

54.5 cm

Given:

AB is the diameter =d of a circle.

ΔABC has the diameter AB as base & the point C is on the circumference.

AC=6 cm and BC=8 cm.

To find out:

Area of shaded portion in the given circle.

Solution:

∠ACB=90

o

since ΔABC has been inscribed in a semicircle.

∴ΔABC is a right one with AB as hypotenuse ...(i)

So, applying Pythagoras theorem, we have

AB=

(AC)

+(BC)

=

(6)

+(8)

cm=10 cm=d.

∴ The radius of the given circle =

d

=

10

cm=5 cm.

i.e The Area of circle =πr

=3.14×5

cm

=78.5cm

.

Again, Area of ΔABC=

2

1

×AC×BC (by i)

=

1

×6×8cm

=24cm

.

Now, Area of shaded region = Area of circle − area of ΔABC

=(78.5−24)cm

=54.5cm
