In the circle above, three right angles have vertices at the center of the circle. If the radius of the circle is 8, what is the combined area of the shaded regions?

total 360 degrees are included in the circle, and in the figure non-shaded region is \(3*90 = 270 degrees\)

Area of the shaded region = 90 degrees

Area of the sector = \((x/360)*Pi*r^2\)
= \((90/360)*Pi*8*8\) --- radius given as 8
= \(16*PI\)

Option E is correct

r = 8,

Area of shaded region will be 3 * \(\frac{theta}{360}\)* π \(r^2\) --------------------(1)

At the center of a circle, sum of the angles = \(360^o\)

Sum of remaining angles will be 360 - 270 = 90
So each shaded region will have an angle as\(\frac{90}{3}\)

Substituting this value in (1)
=\(\frac{3}{3}\)* \(\frac{90}{360}\)* π \(8^2\)

=16π

Solution


Given:
    • A circle as shown in the figure
    • Radius = 8

To find:
    • The combined area of the shaded regions

Approach and Working:
    • Angle of each unshaded sector = 90 degrees
      o Thus, area of each unshaded sector = \(\frac{90}{360} * ᴨ * r^2 = ᴨ/4 * 8^2 = 16ᴨ\)

    • Area of all three unshaded sectors combined = 3 * 16ᴨ = 48ᴨ
    • Area of the circle = \(ᴨ * r^2 = 64ᴨ\)

Therefore, area of shaded region = 64ᴨ - 48ᴨ = 16ᴨ

Hence, the correct answer is Option E

Answer: E

total angle whose area is to be determined = 360-270 = 90
90/360 * 2 * pi * 8*8
= 16 pi
