XYZ is a circle enter o and a radius 7cm. Find the area of the shaded region. θ = 45 x 2 = 90

A.

84cm2

B.

B 77cm2

C.

38cm2

D.

14cm2

Correct Answer: 14cm2

Explanation

θ = 45 x 2 (∠ at center twice ∠ at θ) θ = 90 Area of sector = θ/360 x πr2 = 90/360 x 22/7 x 7 x 7 = 77/2cm2 Area of triangle = 1/2 ab sin θ = 1/2 x 7 x 7 sin 90 = 1/2 x 7 x 7 x 1 = 49/2 Area of shaded region = 77/2 - 49/2 1 1 2 = 28/2 = 14cm2

θ = 45 x 2 (∠ at center twice ∠ at θ) θ = 90 Area of sector = θ/360 x πr2 = 90/360 x 22/7 x 7 x 7 = 77/2cm2 Area of triangle = 1/2 ab sin θ = 1/2 x 7 x 7 sin 90 = 1/2 x 7 x 7 x 1 = 49/2 Area of shaded region = 77/2 - 49/2 1 1 2 = 28/2 = 14cm2
