Detailed Solution

Given that, ABCD is a rectangle with sides

8 cm

and

6 cm

and

O

is the centre of circle.
Question Image

Determine the area of the rectangle A

1

by using the formula

A 1 =

length \times breadth

\Rightarrow

A 1 = 6 × 8

= 48
The length of the diagonal of rectangle will represent the diameter of the circle.
The diagonal is making a right hand triangle in which hypotenuse is missing so use Pythagorean theorem,

H 2 = B 2 + P 2

Determining the length of the diagonal.

A C 2 = A B 2 + B C 2

\Rightarrow

A C 2 = 64 + 36

\Rightarrow

A C 2 = 100

\Rightarrow

AC = 10
The diameter of the circle is 10 cm so determine its radius r.

r = 102

\Rightarrow r

= 5
Determine the area of the circle by using the formula,

A 2 = π r 2

\Rightarrow

A 2 = p 52

\Rightarrow A_{2}

= 25 3.14

\Rightarrow A_{2}

= 78.5
Determine the area related to the shaded region S by subtracting the area of rectangle

A 1

from the area of circle

A 2

S = A 2 − A 1

\Rightarrow S

= 78.5 − 48

\Rightarrow S

= 30.5
Thus, the area represents the shaded region is 30.5 cm.
Hence the correct option is 1.
