6. Find the area contained between the circles of radius 20, each of which is externally
tangent to the other two.
Solution:
h/40 = sin 60
h = 34. 6410
area of triangle = (1/2)(40)(34.6410)
area of triangle = 692.8203
area of sector = (/360) pir^2
= (60/360) pi 400
= 209.4395
area of shaded region = area of triangle
3(area of sector)
Given: r = 20 = 692.8203 3(209.4395)
Area of shaded region = 65.5018 units
7. C is he center of the circle and rectangle ABCD is a rectangle with BC = 4 and AB =3. Find
the area of the shaded region.
Radius = AC
Using: c2 = a2 + b2 ; AC2=BC2+AB2 ; AC=5
Area of the shaded region = (1/4) area of the circle area of
the rectangle
= (1/4) R2 bh
= (1/4) 25 (4)(3)
= 7.6350 units
