Step-by-step explanation:
Given, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle the length of whose side is equal to 10 cm, and ΔDBC is right-angled at D
and BD=8cm.
From figure:
Area of shaded region = Area of ΔABC− Area of ΔDBC.....(1)
Area of ΔABC:
Area of right ΔDBC:
Area = 2/1 ×base×height...(2)
From Pythagoras Theorem:
Hypotenuse^2
= Base^2 + Height^2
BC^2 =DB^2 +Height^2
100−64=Height^2
36=Height^2 or Height =6
equation (2)⇒
Area = 2/1×8×6=24
So area of ΔDBC is 24cm^2
Equation (1) implies
Area of shaded region =43.30−24=19.30
Therefore, Area of shaded region =19.3cm^2
