Find the area of the shaded region in the below figure, if $ A C=24 \mathrm{~cm}, B C=10 \mathrm{~cm} $ and $ O $ is the centre of the circle. (Use $ \pi=3.14) $"


Given:

\( A C=24 \mathrm{~cm}, B C=10 \mathrm{~cm} \) and \( O \) is the centre of the circle. 

To do: 

We have to find the area of the shaded region.

Solution:

 In right angled triangle $ABC$, by Pythagoras theorem,

$AB^2=AC^2 + BC^2$

$= (24)^2+ (10)^2$
$= 576 + 100$

$= 676$
$= (26)^2$

$\Rightarrow AB = 26\ cm$

Diameter of the circle $= 26\ cm$

Radius of the circle $=\frac{26}{2}$

$=13\ cm$

Area of the shaded region $=$ Area of the semicircle $-$ Area of right angled triangle $ABC$

$=\frac{1}{2} \pi r^{2}-\frac{1}{2} AC \times BC$

$=\frac{1}{2}(3.14) \times 13^2-\frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 10$

$=265.33-120$

$=145.33\ cm^2$

The area of the shaded region is $145.33\ cm^2$.
