Introduction:-
In this chapter we are going to learn areas related to circles.Firstly let us know about circle.
Circle:-
Circle is set of all points in a plane which are at the fixed distance from a fixed point.
Here,the fixed point is known as centre.
Centre:-
Mid-Point of a circle is called centre of a circle.
Radius:-
The distance between the centre of a circle to any point in the circle.
It is denoted by 'r' or 'R'.
Chord:-
A line segment a which joins the two points in the circle is called chord.
Here AB is the chord.
Diameter:-
It is the longest chord which passes through the centre of a circle
It is denoted by 'd' or 'D'.
Diameter=2*radius
Radius=Diameter/2
PERIMETER AND AREA OF A CIRCLE:-
Perimeter of a circle:-
It is known as the circumference of the circle.
The distance covered by travelling once around a circle is known as perimeter.
(or)
The distance covered around the edge of a circle.
circumference =π ×radius
As we are calculating the circumference for circle.
circumference=π × 2r
=2πr
where 'r' is the radius of the circle.
The great Mathematician Aryabhata gave an approximate value of π.
π=22/7 or 3.14 approximately
Area of a Circle:-
The area of a circle is the region occupied by circle in the two-dimensional space.
Area of circle=πr^2
where 'r' is the radius of the circle.
Example:- The cost of fencing a circular field at the rate of ₹5280.The field is to be ploughed at the rate of ₹0.50 per m^2.Find the cost of ploughing the field.(Take π=22/7)
Area of the field=πr^2
In order to calculate radius r
Length of the fence=(Total cost)/(Rate)=5280/24=220m
Circumference of the fence=2πr=220
2×22/7×r=220
r=(220×7)/(2×22)
r=35cm
Radius of the field=35cm
Area of the field=πr^2=(22/7)×35×35m^2
=22×5×35m^2
=3850m^2
Cost of ploughing 1 m^2 of the field=₹0.50
Total cost of ploughing the field=3850×0.50
=₹1925
Example:-The radii of two circles are 19cm and 9cm respectively.Find the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the two circles.
Given,
Radius of the first circle=19cm
Circumference of first circle=2πr1
=2×π×19
=38π
Radius of the second circle=9cm
Circumference of the second circle=2πr2
=2π×9
=18πcm
Circumference of required circle=38π+18π
=56πcm
Radius of required circle=R
2πR=56π
R=56π/2π
R=28cm
Sector:-
The portion of circular region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc is called sector of the circle.
Segment:-
The portion or part of a circular region enclosed between a chord and the corresponding arc is called a segment of a circle.
Area of the sector :-
The area enclosed by the sector is called the area of the sector.
Let OAPB be a sector with radius r an ∠AOB be θ
Area of the the circle is πr^2
When the degree measure of the angle at the centre is θ,then
area of the sector=(πr^2/360°)×θ
where'r' is the radius of the circle and θ is the angle of sector in degrees
Length of the arc of a sector of angle θ=( θ /360° )×2πr
From figure
Area of major sector OAQB=πr^2 -Area of minor segment APB
Example:-Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 4 cm and angle 30°.Also,find the area of the corresponding major sector.
Given sector is OAPB
Area of the sector=(θ/360°)×πr^2
=(30°/360°)×3.14×4×4 cm^2
=(12.56/3)cm^2
=4.19cm^2(approx)
Area of corresponding major sector=πr^2-area of sector OAPB
=3.14×16-4.19cm^2
=46.05cm^2
=46.1(approx)
We can also calculate area of major segment in another way
Area of major segment=(360°-θ/360°)πr^2
=(360°-30°/360°)3.14×16 cm^2
=(330°/360°)3.14×16 cm^2
=46.05 cm^2
46.1 cm^2(approx)
Example:-Find the area of the segment AYB shown in figure,if radius of the circle is 21 cm and ∠A0B=120°
Area of the segment AYB=Area of sector OAYB-Area of △OAB
Area of sector OAYB=(120°/360°)×(22/7)×21×21 cm^2
=462cm^2
To find the area of △OAB,
draw OM⊥AB
M is the midpoint of AB and
∠AOM=∠BOM=(1/2)×120°=60°
Let OM=x cm
from △OMA=OM/OA=cos 60°
x/21=1/2
x=21/2
OM=21/2 cm
AM/OA=sin 60°=√3/2
AM=21√3/2 cm
AB=2AM=2×21√3/2 cm
=21√3 cm
Area of △OAB=1/2 AB×OM
=1/2×21√3×21/2 cm^2
=(441/4)√3 cm^2
Area of segment AYB=[462-(441/4)√3] cm^2
=(21/4)(88-21√3) cm^2
Areas of Combinations of Plane Figures:-
A combination of plane figures forms various exciting designs like a square drawn with a semicircle on each side with the same diameter as the square's side.
Example:-In figure,two circular flower beds have been shown on two sides of a square lawn ABCD of side 56 m.If the centre of each circular flower bed is the point of intersection O of the diagonals of the square lawn,find the sum of the areas of the lawn and the flower beds.
Area of the square lawn ABCD=56×56 m^2
OA=OB=x m
x^2+x^2=(56)^2 m
2x^2=56×56
x^2=28×56
Area of sector OAB=(90°/360°)×πr^2
=(1/4)×πx^2
=(1/4)×(22/7)×28×56 m^2
Area of △OAB=(1/4)×56×56 m^2
Area of flower bed AB=[(1/4)×(22/7)×28×56-(1/4)×56×56] m^2
=(1/4)×28×56×((22/7)-2) m^2
=(1/4)×28×56×(8/7) m^2
Similarly area of other flower bed=(1/4)×28×56×(8/7) m^2
Total area=[56×56+(1/4)×28×56×(8/7)+(1/4)×28×56×(8/7)] m^2
=28×56[2+(2/7)+(2/7)] m^2
=28×56×(18/7) m^2
=4032 m^2
Alternative Solution:-
Total area=Area of sector OAB + Area of sector +Area of △OAD + Area of △OBC
=[(90°/360°)×(22/7)×28×56+(90°/360°)×(22/7)×28×56+(1/4)×56×56+(1/4)×56×56] m^2
=(1/4)×28×56[(22/7)+(22/7)+2+2] m^2
=[(7×56)/7](22+22+14+14) m^2
=56×72 m^2
=4032 m^2

Area of one circle=πr^2=(22/7)×7/2×7/2 cm^2
=154/4 cm^2
=77/2 cm^2

Let us mark the four unshaded regions as I,II,III,IV
Area of I + Area of III =Area of ABCD - Areas of two semicircles of each of radius 5cm
=[10×10-2×(1/2)×π×(5)^2] cm^2
=(100-3.14×25) cm^2
=(100-78.5) cm^2
=21.5 cm^2
Similarly,
Area of II + Area of IV=21.5 cm^2
so area of shaded region=Area of ABCD-Area of (I+II+III+IV)
=(100-2×21.5) cm^2
=(100-43) cm^2
=57 cm^2
Example:-If 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.

=1/2×22/7×14×14
=22×2×7
=308 cm^2
Area of sector=(θ/360°)×π(14)^2
=(90°/360°)×22/7×14×14
=(1/4)×22×2×14
=11×14
=154 cm^2
Area of △ABC=(1/2)×b×h
=(1/2)×14×14
=7×14
=98 cm^2
Area of segment BOC=Area of sector-Area of △ABC
=154-98
=56 cm^2
Area of shaded region=Area of semicircle-Area of segment BOC
=308-56
=252 cm^2

Area of △ADC=(1/2)×b×h
=(1/2)×8×8
=36 cm^2
Area of region a=Area of sector I - Area of △ADC
=16π - 36
