Question
In fig., OABC is a square of side 7 cm. If OAPC is a quadrant of a circle with centre O, then find the area of the shaded region.
Solution
Given: OABC is a square of side 7 cm
i.e. OA = AB = BC = OC = 7 cm
Area of square OABC = ( side )2 = 72 = 49 sq. cm.
Given, OAPC is a quadrant of a circle with centre O.
Radius of the sector = OA = OC = 7 cm.
Sector angle = 900
