From the figure shown below, DE is the diameter of circle A and BC is the radius of circle B. If DE = 60 cm and AC = 10 cm, find the area of the shaded region

I'll try this one......!!!

We need to find the radius of the large circle.BC = BD = BE

Now....DAC is a right triangle with DC = √[30^2 + 10^2] = 10√10 cm

And by the Law of Sines   ....   sin90 / 10√10   =  sin DCA /30  .....sin^-1 (3/√10) = DCA = DCB = about 71.565°......and in triangle  DBC, DB = CB....so angle DBC = 180 - (2)71.565 = about 36.87°

And by the Law of Sines, again ........  10√10 / sin 36.87 = DB / sin 71.565

So DB = (10√10) sin71.565 / sin 36.87 =  50 cm

So the area of the big circle is 2500pi cm^2

And 1/2 of the area of the small circle =  (1/2)(30)^2 pi  =  450pi cm^2

And to find the area bound by DCEA, we have area of sector BDE - area of triangle BDE =  (1/2)(50)^2 (1.287002217586568 ) - (1/2)(60)(40)   =  1608.75277198321 -1200  = 408.75277198321 cm^2

So....the shaded area = area of the big circle - (1/2) area of the small circle - area of DCEA =

[ 2500pi - 450pi - 408.75277198321 )  =  about 6031.51 cm^2

Don't know if it's correct or not.......

I get the same as Chris:

.

Well.......we couldn't both be wrong.....!!!!!

{Could we  ??? }

Of course not - that would be ridiculous!

.

LOL!!!....remember......in olden days...just because two people agreed that the Earth was flat.....didn't necessarily make it so........

Are three wise men enough to convince you Chris ?     :)

I have added this to the "Great Answers To Learn From" sticky thread    Thanks Guys 

It could just be that heureka is a member of the Flat-Earth Society like Chris and myself!

.

Yes Alan, that is quite possible  -  I am in The Flat Earth Society too!

It seems that the youngsters have their 'Music Society' and us oldies (no offence Heureka) have the 'Flat Earth Society'  

$$Zero$$      oh!  I mean     $$Ze^gro^{es}$$      could have fun with this  :)
