Calculate the area of the designed region in Fig. 12.34 common between the two quadrants of circles of radius 8 cm each
Solution:
We use the formula for the area of sectors of the circle and the area of the square to solve the problem.
In a circle with radius r and the angle at the centre with degree measure θ,
Area of a sector = θ/360° × πr2
Area of a quadrant = 90°/360° × πr2 = 1/4 πr2
Area of plain or unshaded part of the square = Area of square - Area of quadrant
= side2 - (1/4 × πr2)
= (8 cm × 8 cm) - (1/4 × 22/7 × 8 cm × 8 cm)
= 64 cm2 - 352/7 cm2
= 96/7 cm2
Area of the designed region = Area of the quadrant - Area of plain or unshaded part of the square
= (1/4 × 22/7 × 8 cm × 8 cm) - 96/7 cm2
= 352/7 cm2 - 96/7 cm2
= 256/7 cm2
