Question

ABCD is diameter of a circle of radius 6 cm such that AB = BC= CD. Semicircle are drawn on AB and BD as Demeter's as shown in given figure. Find the area of shaded region.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since, Length of AB, BC and CD are equal.

Radius of circle =6cm

Now, AD=2×6=12cm

⇒AB+BC+CD=12

⇒3AB=12

⇒AB=

3

12

⇒AB=4cm

⇒AB=BC=CD=4cm

Radius of semicircle AB=2cm

Radius of semicircle BC=4cm

Radius of semicircle AD=6cm

Area of the shaded region = Area of semicircle (AB+AD) − Area of semicircle (BD)

⇒ Area of shaded region =0.5π(2

⇒ Area of shaded region =0.6π(4+36)−0.5π×16

⇒ Area of shaded region =20π−8π

⇒ Area of shaded region =12πcm
