In the given figure, two concentric circles with centre O have radii 21 cm and 42 cm. If ∠AOB = 60°, find the area of the shaded region.   Use π = 227

                              

Solution

We have,

                        

Area of the region ABCD

  = Area of the sector AOB - Area of the sector COD

 = 60360 x 227 x 42 x 42  -  60360 x 227 x 21 x 21 cm2= 16 x 22 x 6 x 42  -  16 x 22 x 3 x 21 cm2= 22 x 42 - 11 x 21 cm2 = 924 - 231 cm2= 693 cm2Area of circular ring = 227 x 42 x42 - 227 x 21 x21 cm2                                    = 22 x 6 x 42 - 22 x 3 x 21 cm2                                   = 5544 - 1386 cm2                                   = 4158 cm2

Hence, Required shaded region = Area of circular ring - Area of region ABCD

                                             = (4158 - 693) cm2

                                             = 3465 cm2
