Question

Find the area of the shaded regions. Give your answer as a completely simplified

Answer 1

The area of the shaded region is 40π/3 square cm if the radius of the small circle r is 3 cm and the radius of the large circle R is 7 cm.

What is a circle?

It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the center of a circle)

We have a circle in which the shaded region is shown.

The radius of the small circle r = 3 cm

The radius of the large circle R = 3+4 = 7 cm

The area of the shaded region:

= area of the large circle sector - an area of the small circle sector

                                                     

= (120/360)[π7²] - (120/360)[π3²]

= 49π/3 - 3π

= 40π/3 square cm or

= 13.34π square cm

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 40π/3 square cm if the radius of the small circle r is 3 cm and the radius of the large circle R is 7 cm.
