Question

Find the area of the shaded region in the following figure, if AC = 24 cm, BC = 10 cm and O is the centre of the circle. (Use π = 3.14)

Answer 1

It is given a triangle ABC is cut from a circle.

In,

, Since any angle inscribed in semicircle is always right angle.

By applying Pythagoras theorem,

We know that the area A of circle of radius r is

Substituting the value of radius r,
