The radii of two circles are 19 cm and 9 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the sum of the circumferences of the two circles.
Given: Radius (r1) of 1st circle = 19 cm
Radius (r2) or 2nd circle = 9 cm
Now,
Let the radius of 3rd circle be r
Circumference of 1st circle = 2πr1 = 2π (19) = 38π cm
Circumference of 2nd circle = 2πr2 = 2π (9) = 18π cm
Circumference of 3rd circle = 2πr
Given:
Circumference of 3rd circle = Circumference of 1st circle + Circumference of 2nd circle
2πr = 38π + 18π = 56π cm
r =
= 28
Therefore, the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the sum of the circumference of the given two circles is 28 cm
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.
Radius (r1) of 1st circle = 8 cm
Radius (r2) of 2nd circle = 6 cm
Let the radius of 3rd circle be r
Area of 1stcircle = r12 = π (8)2 = 64π
Area of 2nd circle = πr22 = π (6)2 = 36 π
Given that,
Area of 3rd circle = Area of 1st circle + Area of 2nd circle
πr2 = πr12 + πr22
πr2 = 64 π + 36 π
πr2 = 100 π
r2 = 100
r =
But we know that the radius cannot be negative. Hence, the radius of the circle having area equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles is 10 cm
Fig. 12.3 depicts an archery target marked with its five scoring areas from the centre outwards as Gold, Red, Blue, Black and White. The diameter of the region representing Gold 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.
Radius (r1) of gold region (i.e., 1st circle) = = 10.5 cm
Given:
Each circle is 10.5 cm wider than the previous circle.
Hence,
Radius (r2) of 2nd circle = 10.5 + 10.5
21 cm
Radius (r3) of 3rd circle = 21 + 10.5= 31.5 cm
Radius (r4) of 4th circle = 31.5 + 10.5= 42 cm
Radius (r5) of 5th circle = 42 + 10.5= 52.5 cm
Area of gold region = Area of 1stcircle
= πr12
= π (10.5)2
= 346.5 cm2
Area of red region = Area of 2nd circle - Area of 1stcircle
= πr22 – πr12
= π (21)2 – π (10.5)2
= 441π – 110.25π
= 330.75π
= 1039.5 cm2
Area of blue region = Area of 3rdcircle - Area of 2ndcircle
= πr32 – πr22
= π (31.5)2 – π (21)2
= 992.25 π - 441 π
= 551.25 π
= 1732.5 cm2
Area of black region = Area of 4thcircle - Area of 3rd circle
= πr42 – πr32
= π (42)2 – π (31.5)2
= 1764 π – 992.25 π
= 771.75 π
= 2425.5 cm2
Area of white region = Area of 5thcircle - Area of 4thcircle
= πr52 – πr42
= π (52.5)2 – π (42)2
= 2756.25 π - 1764 π
= 992.25 π
= 3118.5 cm2
Therefore, areas of gold, red, blue, black, and white regions are 346.5 cm2, 1039.5 cm2, 1732.5 cm2, 2425.5 cm2, and 3118.5 cm2 respectively
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?
The diameter of the wheel of the car = 80 cm
Radius (r) of the wheel of the car = 40 cm
Circumference of wheel = 2πr
⇒ 2π (40) = 80π cm
Speed of car = 66 km/hour
1 km = 1000 m and 1m = 100 cm= 110000 cm/min
As distance= speed × time
Distance traveled by car in 10 minutes
= 110000 × 10
= 1100000 cm
Let the number of revolutions of the wheel of the car be "n".
n × Distance travelled in 1 revolution (i.e., circumference)
(In one revolution of the wheel, a wheel covers the distance equal to its circumference)
= Distance travelled in 10 minutes
n × 80 π = 1100000
n =
=
= 4375
Therefore, each wheel of the car will make 4375 revolutions.

In Fig. 12.33, ABC is a quadrant of a circle of radius 14 cm and a semicircle is drawn with BC as diameter. Find the area of the shaded region.
As quadrant is 1/4 th of a circle and area of circle is Πr2
Area of quadrant =
=154 cm2
Area of triangle=
= 98 cm2
In right angle triangle ABC,
BC2 = AB2 + AC2
BC2 = (14)2 + (14)2
BC2 = 2(14)2
BC= 14 √2 cm
Hence diameter is 14 √2 cm.
Radius is (14 √2)/2 = 7 √2 cm
So, area of the semicircle = 1/2 πr2
= 154 cm2
Area of the shaded region = Area of semi Circle - Area of segment BC = 154 - 56
= 98 cm2
Calculate the area of the designed region in Fig. 12.34 common between the two quadrants of circles of radius 8 cm each
First, let us understand how we can acquire the given Area
From the figure first we need to subtract Area of quadrant from the square and then again subtract another quadrant from the square, by this, we will get the Area of the unshaded region
And finally to find Area of the shaded region we can subtract Area of the unshaded region from Area of square.
Radius of quadrant = length of square
= r
= 8 cm
We can interpret from above that:
Area of unshaded region = 2(Area of the square - Area of the quadrant of the circle)
Area of shaded region = Area of square - 2(Area of square - Area of quadrant of circle)
Area of shaded region = 2 (Area of quadrant of circle) - Area of square
= 2 × (1/4)πr2 - 8 × 8
= [(1/2) × π × 82] - 64
= 32π - 64
= 32(π-2)
= 32 × 1.14
= 36.54 cm2
Therefore, area of shaded region is 36.54 cm2
