Question:
Find the area of the shaded region in figure, where a circular arc of radius $6\text{ cm}$ has been drawn with vertex $O$ of an equilateral triangle $OAB$ of side $12\text{ cm}$ as centre.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Shaded area $= \text{Area of major sector of radius } 6\text{ cm} + \text{Area of equilateral } \Delta OAB$. Major sector angle $= 360^\circ - 60^\circ = 300^\circ$.
Angle of equilateral triangle $= 60^\circ$. Major sector angle $= 360^\circ - 60^\circ = 300^\circ$. [1.0 Mark] Major sector area $= \dfrac{300}{360} \times \pi (6)^2 = \dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 36 = \dfrac{660}{7}\text{ cm}^2$. [2.0 Marks] Area of equilateral $\Delta OAB = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4} (12)^2 = 36\sqrt{3}\text{ cm}^2$. [1.0 Mark] Total shaded area $= \left(\dfrac{660}{7} + 36\sqrt{3}\right)\text{ cm}^2$. [1.0 Mark]
