Two circular pieces of equal radii and maximum area, touching each otherare cut out from a rectangular card board of dimensions 14 cm x 7 cm. Find the area of the remaining card board.

Use π = 227

Solution

Dimensions of the rectangle card board = 14 cm x 7 cm

Since, two circular pieces of equal radii and maximum area touching each other are cut from the rectangular card board, therefore, the diameter oa each of each  circular pieces  is 142 = 7cm 

                       

Radius of each circular piece = 72 cm. Sum of area of two circular pieces = 2 x π 72 2 = 2 x 227 x 494 = 77 cm2Area of the remaining card board= Area of the card board - Area of the two circular pieces= 14 cm x 7 cm - 77 cm2= 98 cm2 - 77 cm2 =21 cm2
