In the adjoining figure O is the centre of the circle. The radius OP bisects a rectangle ABCD, at right angle. DM = NC = 2cm and AR = SB = 1 cm and KS = 4cm and OP = 5 cm. What is the area of the rectangle?
10 cm2
(OS)2=(OK)2+(KS)2
25 =OK2+16⇒OK=3
and (ON)2=(OL)2+(LN)225=(OL)2+9⇒ OL=4 cm
∴ KL = OL - OK = 1 cm
∴ Area of rectangle = 1 × 10 = 10 cm2
