Find the area of the shaded region in Fig. 12.21, if ABCD is a square of side 14 cm and APD and BPC are semicircles.
Fig. 12.21.
From each corner of a square of side 4 cm a quadrant of a circle of radius 1 cm is cut and also a circle of diameter 2 cm is cut as shown in Fig. 12.23. Find the area of the remaining portion of the square.
Fig. 12.23
We have,
(i) Side of square = 4 cm
∴ Area = (side)2 = 16 cm2
(ii) Diameter of circle = 2 cm
So, radius = 1 cm
And, area =
(iii) Area of 4 quadrants of radius 1 cm
Now required area :
= Area of square - (Area of 4 quadrants + Area of circle)
In a circular table cover of radius 32 cm, a design is formed leaving an equilateral triangle ABC in the middle as shown in Figure. Find the area of the design
Fig. 12.26 depicts a racing track whose left and right ends are semicircular.

The distance between the two inner parallel line segments is 60 m and they are each 106 m long. If the track is 10 m wide, find :
(i) the distance around the track along its inner edge.
(ii) the area of the track.
In Fig. 12.27, AB and CD are two diameters of a circle (with centre O) perpendicular to each other and OD is the diameter of the smaller circle. If OA = 7 cm, find the area of the shaded region.
The area of an equilateral triangle ABC is 17320.5 cm2 . With each vertex of the triangle as centre, a circle is drawn with radius equal to half the length of the side of the triangle (see Fig. 12.28). Find the area of the shaded region (Use = 3.14 and
1.73205)
