Exercise: 12.1 (Page No: 230)

1. The radii of two circles are 19 cm and 9 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle which
has a circumference equal to the sum of the circumferences of the two circles.

Solution:
The radius of the 1st circle = 19 cm (given)
∴ Circumference of the 1st circle = 2π×19 = 38π cm
The radius of the 2nd circle = 9 cm (given)
∴ Circumference of the 2nd circle = 2π×9 = 18π cm
So,
The sum of the circumference of two circles = 38π+18π = 56π cm
Now, let the radius of the 3rd circle = R
∴ The circumference of the 3rd circle = 2πR
It is given that sum of the circumference of two circles = circumference of the 3rd circle
Hence, 56π = 2πR
Or, R = 28 cm.

2. The radii of two circles are 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle having
area equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.

Solution:
Radius of 1st circle = 8 cm (given)
∴ Area of 1st circle = π(8)2 = 64π
Radius of 2nd circle = 6 cm (given)
∴ Area of 2nd circle = π(6)2 = 36π
So,
The sum of 1st and 2nd circle will be = 64π+36π = 100π
Now, assume that the radius of 3rd circle = R
∴ Area of the circle 3rd circle = πR2
It is given that the area of the circle 3rd circle = Area of 1st circle + Area of 2nd circle
Or, πR2 = 100πcm2
 R2 = 100cm2
So, R = 10cm

3. Fig. 12.3 depicts an archery target marked with its five scoring regions from the centre
outwards as Gold, Red, Blue, Black and White. The diameter of the region representing Gold
 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas
Related to Circles
score is 21 cm and each of the other bands is 10.5 cm wide. Find the area of each of the five
scoring regions.

Solution:
The radius of 1st circle, r1 = 21/2 cm (as diameter D is given as 21 cm)
So, area of gold region = π r12 = π(10.5)2 = 346.5 cm2
Now, it is given that each of the other bands is 10.5 cm wide,
So, the radius of 2nd circle, r2 = 10.5cm+10.5cm = 21 cm
Thus,
∴ Area of red region = Area of 2nd circle − Area of gold region = (πr22−346.5) cm2
= (π(21)2 − 346.5) cm2
= 1386 − 346.5
= 1039.5 cm2
Similarly,
The radius of 3rd circle, r3 = 21 cm+10.5 cm = 31.5 cm
The radius of 4th circle, r4 = 31.5 cm+10.5 cm = 42 cm
The Radius of 5th circle, r5 = 42 cm+10.5 cm = 52.5 cm
For the area of nth region,
A = Area of circle n - Area of circle (n-1)

∴ Area of blue region (n=3) = Area of third circle - Area of second circle
= π(31.5)2 - 1386 cm2
= 3118.5 - 1386 cm2
= 1732.5 cm2
∴ Area of black region (n=4) = Area of fourth circle - Area of third circle
= π(42)2 - 1386 cm2
= 5544 - 3118.5 cm2
= 2425.5 cm2
 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas
Related to Circles
∴ Area of white region (n=5) = Area of fifth circle - Area of fourth circle
= π(52.5)2 - 5544 cm2
= 8662.5 - 5544 cm2
= 3118.5 cm2

4. The wheels of a car are of diameter 80 cm each. How many complete revolutions does each
wheel make in 10 minutes when the car is travelling at a speed of 66 km per hour?

Solution:
The radius of car’s wheel = 80/2 = 40 cm (as D = 80 cm)
So, the circumference of wheels = 2πr = 80 π cm
Now, in one revolution, the distance covered = circumference of the wheel = 80 π cm
It is given that the distance covered by the car in 1 hr = 66km
Converting km into cm we get,
Distance covered by the car in 1hr = (66×105) cm
In 10 minutes, the distance covered will be = (66×105×10)/60 = 1100000 cm/s
∴ Distance covered by car = 11×105 cm

Now, the no. of revolutions of the wheels = (Distance covered by the car/Circumference of the
wheels)
=( 11×105)/80 π = 4375.

5. Tick the correct Solution: in the following and justify your choice : If the perimeter and the
area of a circle are numerically equal, then the radius of the circle is
(A) 2 units
(B) π units
(C) 4 units
(D) 7 units

Solution:
Since the perimeter of the circle = area of the circle,
2πr = πr2
Or, r = 2
So, option (A) is correct i.e. the radius of the circle is 2 units.

Exercise: 12.2 (Page No: 230)

1. Find the area of a sector of a circle with radius 6 cm if angle of the sector is 60°.

Solution:
It is given that the angle of the sector is 60°
We know that the area of sector = (θ/360°)×πr2
∴ Area of the sector with angle 60° = (60°/360°)×πr2 cm2
= (36/6)π cm2
= 6×22/7 cm2 = 132/7 cm2

2. Find the area of a quadrant of a circle whose circumference is 22 cm.

Solution:
Circumference of the circle, C = 22 cm (given)
It should be noted that a quadrant of a circle is a sector which is making an angle of 90°.
Let the radius of the circle = r
As C = 2πr = 22,
R = 22/2π cm = 7/2 cm
∴ Area of the quadrant = (θ/360°) × πr2
Here, θ = 90°
So, A = (90°/360°) × π r2 cm2
= (49/16) π cm2
= 77/8 cm2 = 9.6 cm2

3. The length of the minute hand of a clock is 14 cm. Find the area swept by the minute hand
in 5 minutes.

Solution:
Length of minute hand = radius of the clock (circle)
∴ Radius (r) of the circle = 14 cm (given)
Angle swept by minute hand in 60 minutes = 360°
So, the angle swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes = 360° × 5/60 = 30°
We know,
Area of a sector = (θ/360°) × πr2
Now, area of the sector making an angle of 30° = (30°/360°) × πr2 cm2
= (1/12) × π142

4. A chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre. Find the area of the
corresponding:
(i) minor segment
(ii) major sector. (Use π = 3.14)

Solution:

Here AB be the chord which is subtending an angle 90° at the center O.

It is given that the radius (r) of the circle = 10 cm

(i) Area of minor sector = (90/360°)×πr2

= (¼)×(22/7)×102
Or, Area of minor sector = 78.5 cm2
Also, area of ΔAOB = ½×OB×OA
Here, OB and OA are the radii of the circle i.e. = 10 cm
So, area of ΔAOB = ½×10×10
= 50 cm2
Now, area of minor segment = area of minor sector - area of ΔAOB
= 78.5 - 50
= 28.5 cm2

(ii) Area of major sector = Area of circle - Area of minor sector

 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas

= (3.14×102)-78.5
= 235.5 cm2

5. In a circle of radius 21 cm, an arc subtends an angle of 60° at the centre. Find:
(i) the length of the arc
(ii) area of the sector formed by the arc
(iii) area of the segment formed by the corresponding chord

Solution:

Given,
Radius = 21 cm
θ = 60°
(i) Length of an arc = θ/360°×Circumference(2πr)
∴ Length of an arc AB = (60°/360°)×2×(22/7)×21
= (1/6)×2×(22/7)×21
Or Arc AB Length = 22cm

(ii) It is given that the angle subtend by the arc = 60°

So, area of the sector making an angle of 60° = (60°/360°)×π r2 cm2
= 441/6×22/7 cm2
Or, the area of the sector formed by the arc APB is 231 cm2

(iii) Area of segment APB = Area of sector OAPB - Area of ΔOAB

Since the two arms of the triangle are the radii of the circle and thus are equal, and one angle is
60°, ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle. So, its area will be √3/4×a2 sq. Units.

Area of segment APB = 231-(√3/4)×(OA)2

 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas

= 231-(√3/4)×212
Or, Area of segment APB = [231-(441×√3)/4] cm2

6. A chord of a circle of radius 15 cm subtends an angle of 60° at the centre. Find the areas of
the corresponding minor and major segments of the circle. (Use π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73)

Solution:

Given,
Radius = 15 cm
θ = 60°
So,
Area of sector OAPB = (60°/360°)×πr2 cm2
= 225/6 πcm2

Now, ΔAOB is equilateral as two sides are the radii of the circle and hence equal and one angle
is 60°
So, Area of ΔAOB = (√3/4) ×a2
Or, (√3/4) ×152
∴ Area of ΔAOB = 97.31 cm2

Now, area of minor segment APB = Area of OAPB - Area of ΔAOB

Or, area of minor segment APB = ((225/6)π - 97.31) cm2 = 20.43 cm2
And,
Area of major segment = Area of circle - Area of segment APB
 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas
Related to Circles
Or, area of major segment = (π×152) - 20.4 = 686.06 cm2

7. A chord of a circle of radius 12 cm subtends an angle of 120° at the centre. Find the area of
the corresponding segment of the circle. (Use π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73)

Solution:
Radius, r = 12 cm
Now, draw a perpendicular OD on chord AB and it will bisect chord AB.
So, AD = DB

Now, the area of the minor sector = (θ/360°)×πr2

= (120/360)×(22/7)×122
= 150.72 cm2
Consider the ΔAOB,
∠ OAB = 180°-(90°+60°) = 30°
Now, cos 30° = AD/OA
√3/2 = AD/12
Or, AD = 6√3 cm
We know OD bisects AB. So,
AB = 2×AD = 12√3 cm
Now, sin 30° = OD/OA
Or, ½ = OD/12
∴ OD = 6 cm
So, the area of ΔAOB = ½ × base × height
Here, base = AB = 12√3 and
Height = OD = 6
 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas
Related to Circles
So, area of ΔAOB = ½×12√3×6 = 36√3 cm = 62.28 cm2

∴ Area of the corresponding Minor segment = Area of the Minor sector - Area of ΔAOB
= 150.72 cm2- 62.28 cm2 = 88.44 cm2

8. A horse is tied to a peg at one corner of a square shaped grass field of side 15 m by means
of a 5 m long rope (see Fig. 12.11). Find
(i) the area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze.
(ii) the increase in the grazing area if the rope were 10 m long instead of 5 m. (Use π = 3.14)

Solution:
As the horse is tied at one end of a square field, it will graze only a quarter (i.e. sector with θ =
90°) of the field with radius 5 m.
Here, the length of rope will be the radius of the circle i.e. r = 5 m
It is also known that the side of square field = 15 m

(i) Area of circle = πr2 = 22/7 × 52 = 78.5 m2

Now, the area of the part of the field where the horse can graze = ¼ (the area of the circle) =
78.5/4 = 19.625 m2

(ii) If the rope is increased to 10 m,

Area of circle will be = πr2 =22/7×102 = 314 m2
Now, the area of the part of the field where the horse can graze = ¼ (the area of the circle)
= 314/4 = 78.5 m2
∴ Increase in the grazing area = 78.5 m2 - 19.625 m2 = 58.875 m2

9. A brooch is made with silver wire in the form of a circle with diameter 35 mm. The wire is
also used in making 5 diameters which divide the circle into 10 equal sectors as shown in Fig.
12.12. Find:

(i) the total length of the silver wire required.

(ii) the area of each sector of the brooch.

Solution:

Diameter (D) = 35 mm

Total number of diameters to be considered= 5

Now, the total length of 5 diameters that would be required = 35×5 = 175

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

Or, C = πD = 22/7×35 = 110

Area of the circle = πr2

Or, A = (22/7)×(35/2)2 = 1925/2 mm2

(i) Total length of silver wire required = Circumference of the circle + Length of 5 diameter

= 110+175 = 185 mm
 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas
Related to Circles
(ii) Total Number of sectors in the brooch = 10

So, the area of each sector = total area of the circle/number of sectors

∴ Area of each sector = (1925/2)×1/10 = 385/4 mm2

10. An umbrella has 8 ribs which are equally spaced (see Fig. 12.13). Assuming umbrella to be
a flat circle of radius 45 cm, find the area between the two consecutive ribs of the umbrella.

Solution:

The radius (r) of the umbrella when flat = 45 cm

So, the area of the circle (A) = πr2 = (22/7)×(45)2 =6364.29 cm2

Total number of ribs (n) = 8

∴ The area between the two consecutive ribs of the umbrella = A/n

 6364.29/8 cm2

Or, The area between the two consecutive ribs of the umbrella = 795.5 cm2

11. A car has two wipers which do not overlap. Each wiper has a blade of length 25 cm

 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas
Related to Circles
Radius (r) = 25 cm

Sector angle (θ) = 115°

Since there are 2 blades,

The total area of the sector made by wiper = 2×(θ/360°)×π r2

= 2×(115/360)×(22/7)×252

= 2×158125/252 cm2

= 158125/126 = 1254.96 cm2

12. To warn ships for underwater rocks, a lighthouse spreads a red colored light over a sector
of angle 80° to a distance of 16.5 km. Find the area of the sea over which the ships are
warned.

(Use π = 3.14)

Solution:

Let O bet the position of Lighthouse.

Here the radius will be the distance over which light spreads.

Given, radius (r) = 16.5 km

Sector angle (θ) = 80°

Now, the total area of the sea over which the ships are warned = Area made by the sector
 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas

Or, Area of sector = (θ/360°)×πr2

= (80°/360°)×πr2 km2

= 189.97 km2

13. A round table cover has six equal designs as shown in Fig. 12.14. If the radius of the cover
is 28 cm, find the cost of making the designs at the rate of ₹ 0.35 per cm 2 . (Use √3 = 1.7)

Solution:

Total number of equal designs = 6

AOB= 360°/6 = 60°

Radius of the cover = 28 cm

Cost of making design = ₹ 0.35 per cm2

Since the two arms of the triangle are the radii of the circle and thus are equal, and one angle is
60°, ΔAOB is an equilateral triangle. So, its area will be (√3/4)×a2 sq. units

Here, a = OA
 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas
Related to Circles
∴ Area of equilateral ΔAOB = (√3/4)×282 = 333.2 cm2

Area of sector ACB = (60°/360°)×πr2 cm2

= 410.66 cm2

So, area of a single design = area of sector ACB - area of ΔAOB

= 410.66 cm2 - 333.2 cm2 = 77.46 cm2

∴ Area of 6 designs = 6×77.46 cm2 = 464.76 cm2

So, total cost of making design = 464.76 cm2 ×Rs.0.35 per cm2

= Rs. 162.66

14. Tick the correct solution in the following:

Area of a sector of angle p (in degrees) of a circle with radius R is

(A) p/180 × 2πR

(B) p/180 × π R2

(C) p/360 × 2πR

(D) p/720 × 2πR2

Solution:

The area of a sector = (θ/360°)×πr2

Given, θ = p

So, area of sector = p/360×πR2

Multiplying and dividing by 2 simultaneously,

= (p/360)×2/2×πR2

= (2p/720)×2πR2

So, option (D) is correct.

1. Find the area of the shaded region in Fig. 12.19, if PQ = 24 cm, PR = 7 cm and O is the centre
of the circle.

Solution:

Here, P is in the semi-circle and so,

P = 90°

So, it can be concluded that QR is hypotenuse of the circle and is equal to the diameter of the
circle.

∴ QR = D

Using Pythagorean theorem,

QR2 = PR2+PQ2

Or, QR2 = 72+242

 QR= 25 cm = Diameter

Hence, the radius of the circle = 25/2 cm

Now, the area of the semicircle = (πR2)/2

= (22/7)×(25/2)×(25/2)/2 cm2

= 13750/56 cm2 = 245.54 cm2

Radius the inner circle = r = 7 cm, and

Radius of the outer circle = R = 14 cm

We know,

Area of the sector = (θ/360°)×πr2

So, Area of OAC = (40°/360°)×πr2 cm2

= 68.44 cm2

Area of the sector OBD = (40°/360°)×πr2 cm2

 NCERT Solutions For Class 10 Maths Chapter 12- Areas

Side of the square ABCD (as given) = 14 cm

So, Area of ABCD = a2

= 14×14 cm2 = 196 cm2

We know that the side of the square = diameter of the circle = 14 cm

So, side of the square = diameter of the semicircle = 14 cm

∴ Radius of the semicircle = 7 cm

Now, area of the semicircle = (πR2)/2

= (22/7×7×7)/2 cm2 =

= 77 cm2

∴ Area of two semicircles = 2×77 cm2 = 154 cm2

Hence, area of the shaded region = Area of the Square - Area of two semicircles

Area of the sector is common in both.

Radius of the circle = 6 cm.

Side of the triangle = 12 cm.

Area of the equilateral triangle = (√3/4) (OA)2= (√3/40×122 = 36√3 cm2

Area of the circle = πR2 = (22/7)×62 = 792/7 cm2

Area of the sector making angle 60° = (60°/360°) ×πr2 cm2

= (1/6)×(22/7)× 62 cm2 = 132/7 cm2

Area of the shaded region = Area of the equilateral triangle + Area of the circle - Area of the

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.

Solution:

Side of the square = 4 cm

Radius of the circle = 1 cm

Four quadrant of a circle are cut from corner and one circle of radius are cut from middle.

Area of square = (side)2= 42 = 16 cm2

Area of the quadrant = (πR2)/4 cm2 = (22/7)×(12)/4 = 11/14 cm2

∴ Total area of the 4 quadrants = 4 ×(11/14) cm2 = 22/7 cm2

Area of the circle = πR2 cm2 = (22/7×12) = 22/7 cm2

Area of the shaded region = Area of square - (Area of the 4 quadrants + Area of the circle)

Area of the square ABCD = 142 = 196 cm2

Area of the quadrant = (πR2)/4 cm2 = (22/7) ×72/4 cm2

= 77/2 cm2

Total area of the quadrant = 4×77/2 cm2 = 154cm2

Area of smaller circle = πr2 = (22/7)×(7/2)×(7/2) = 77/2 cm2

Area of the shaded region = Area of larger circle - Area of triangle - Area of larger semicircle +
Area of smaller circle

Area of the shaded region = (154-49-77+77/2) cm2

= 133/2 cm2 = 66.5 cm2

10. 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 π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73205)

Solution:

ABC is an equilateral triangle.

∴ ∠ A = ∠ B = ∠ C = 60°

There are three sectors each making 60°.

Area of ΔABC = 17320.5 cm2

⇒ √3/4 ×(side)2 = 17320.5

⇒ (side)2 =17320.5×4/1.73205

⇒ (side)2 = 4×104

⇒ side = 200 cm

Radius of the circles = 200/2 cm = 100 cm

Area of the sector = (60°/360°)×π r2 cm2

= 1/6×3.14×(100)2 cm2

= 15700/3cm2

Area of 3 sectors = 3×15700/3 = 15700 cm2

Thus, area of the shaded region = Area of equilateral triangle ABC - Area of 3 sectors

= 17320.5-15700 cm2 = 1620.5 cm2

11. On a square handkerchief, nine circular designs each of radius 7 cm are made (see Fig.
12.29). Find the area of the remaining portion of the handkerchief.

Solution:

Number of circular designs = 9

Radius of the circular design = 7 cm

There are three circles in one side of square handkerchief.

∴ Side of the square = 3×diameter of circle = 3×14 = 42 cm

Area of the square = 42×42 cm2 = 1764 cm2

Area of the circle = π r2 = (22/7)×7×7 = 154 cm2

Total area of the design = 9×154 = 1386 cm2

Area of the remaining portion of the handkerchief = Area of the square - Total area of the
design = 1764 - 1386 = 378 cm2

12. In Fig. 12.30, OACB is a quadrant of a circle with centre O and radius 3.5 cm. If OD = 2 cm,
find the area of the

(i) quadrant OACB,

(ii) shaded region.

Solution:

Radius of the quadrant = 3.5 cm = 7/2 cm

(i) Area of quadrant OACB = (πR2)/4 cm2

= (22/7)×(7/2)×(7/2)/4 cm2

= 77/8 cm2

(ii) Area of triangle BOD = (½)×(7/2)×2 cm2

= 7/2 cm2

Area of shaded region = Area of quadrant - Area of triangle BOD

= (77/8)-(7/2) cm2 = 49/8 cm2

= 6.125 cm2

Solution:

Side of square = OA = AB = 20 cm

Radius of the quadrant = OB

OAB is right angled triangle

By Pythagoras theorem in ΔOAB,

OB2 = AB2+OA2

⇒ OB2 = 202 +202

⇒ OB2 = 400+400

⇒ OB2 = 800

⇒ OB= 20√2 cm

Area of the quadrant = (πR2)/4 cm2 = (3.14/4)×(20√2)2 cm2 = 628cm2

Area of the square = 20×20 = 400 cm2

Area of the shaded region = Area of the quadrant - Area of the square

= 628-400 cm2 = 228cm2

Solution:

Radius of the larger circle, R = 21 cm

Radius of the smaller circle, r = 7 cm

Angle made by sectors of both concentric circles = 30°

Area of the larger sector = (30°/360°)×πR2 cm2

= (1/12)×(22/7)×212 cm2

= 231/2cm2

Area of the smaller circle = (30°/360°)×πr2 cm2

= 1/12×22/7×72 cm2

=77/6 cm2

Area of the shaded region = (231/2) - (77/6) cm2

= 616/6 cm2 = 308/3cm2

Solution:

Radius of the quadrant ABC of circle = 14 cm

AB = AC = 14 cm

BC is diameter of semicircle.

ABC is right angled triangle.

By Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,

BC2 = AB2 +AC2

⇒ BC2 = 142 +142

⇒ BC = 14√2 cm

Radius of semicircle = 14√2/2 cm = 7√2 cm

Area of ΔABC =( ½)×14×14 = 98 cm2

Area of quadrant = (¼)×(22/7)×(14×14) = 154 cm2

Area of the semicircle = (½)×(22/7)×7√2×7√2 = 154 cm2

Area of the shaded region =Area of the semicircle + Area of ΔABC - Area of quadrant

= 154 +98-154 cm2 = 98cm2

AB = BC = CD = AD = 8 cm

Area of ΔABC = Area of ΔADC = (½)×8×8 = 32 cm2

Area of quadrant AECB = Area of quadrant AFCD = (¼)×22/7×82

= 352/7 cm2

Area of shaded region = (Area of quadrant AECB - Area of ΔABC) = (Area of quadrant AFCD -
Area of ΔADC)

= (352/7 -32)+(352/7- 32) cm2

= 2×(352/7-32) cm2

= 256/7 cm2
