find the area of the white region ...blue region has a 150 degree triangle with 7cm side and the circle has a radius of 7

Sagot :

First, let's find the area circular sector:

[tex]A=\frac{r^2\theta}{2}[/tex]

Where:

r = radius = 7cm

θ = angle (in radians) = 5/6 π

so:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{7^2(\frac{5}{6}\pi)}{2} \\ A=\frac{245}{12}\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, let's find the area of the triangle, that triangle is an isosceles triangle, so, we can use the following formula in order to find its area:

[tex]\begin{gathered} At=\frac{1}{2}s^2\cdot\sin (\theta) \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

where:

s = one of the equal sides = 7

θ = angle = 150

so:

[tex]\begin{gathered} At=\frac{1}{2}(7^2)\sin (150) \\ At=\frac{49}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the white region will be, the area of the circular sector minus the area of the isosceles triangle, so:

[tex]Area_{\text{ }}of_{\text{ }}the_{\text{ }}white_{\text{ }}region=\frac{245}{12}\pi-\frac{49}{4}=51.9cm^2[/tex]
