Find the area of the shaded region
Answers
Answer:
Area of shaded region = area of trapezium -( area of circle + area of rectangle )
Given,
- A trapezium.
- Circle of diameter 7cm
- A Rectangle of dimensions 10 by 3cm.
⠀
Now, to find the Shaded portion, find the area of all the figures.
First,
- Area of trapezium
Formula using here,
Where,
- Measure of parallel sides = 25cm and 15cm
- Height (perpendicular distance) = 16cm
On substituting the Values,
Cancel 40 by 2, we get
∴The area of whole figure (trapezium) is 320cm².
⠀
Now,
- Area of circle, whose diameter (d) is 7cm
Formula using here,
Where,
- Radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5cm.
Dividing 12.25 by 7 we get,
Now, multiply them
∴ the area of circle is 38.5cm².
⠀
Now,
- Area of rectangle, whose dimensions are 3 ×10.
Formula using here,
Substitute the Values,
∴Area of rectangle is 30cm².
⠀
Now,
To find the Shaded portion subtract the area internal figures from the trapezium,
• Shaded portion = Area of trapezium - (area of Circle + area of Rectangle)
Shaded portion = 320cm² - (38.5cm² + 30cm²)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 320cm² – 68.5cm²
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 251.5cm²
The area of shaded portion is 251.5cm².
