find the area of the shaded region in figure , if BC=BD=8cm,AC=AD=15cm and O is the centre of the circle.
SInce AOB is the diameter,
So, Angle ACB= Angle ADB= 90o
Ar.(ABC)= Ar.(ABD)= 1/2 * BC* AC [Since BC= BD and AC= AD]
Ar.(ABC)= Ar.(ABD)= 60cm2
By pythagoras theorem,
AB2= AC2+ BC2
AB2= 152+ 82
AB= 17cm
Therefore radius= 17/2 cm.
Ar. of C(O,r)= 22/7 * 17/2*17/2
= 3179/14 cm2
Ar. of the shaded region= Ar. of C(o,r)- Ar.(ABC)- Ar.(ABD)
= 3179/14- 60- 60
= 1499 /14 cm2
