Find the area of the shaded figure, given that ABD is a sector of a circle. Round your answers to 3 s.f.


Please assume that:

  1. The section CBD is completely shaded.

  2. CD and CB are tangent to the circle centred at A


The answer is 8.88.

It is assumed that D C DC and B C BC are tangents to the circular sector. So A D C = A B C = 9 0 \angle ADC= \angle ABC=90^\circ . It follows that B C D = 6 0 \angle BCD=60^\circ . Draw line B D BD . Compute the length of line B D BD by cosine law. Compute the area of D A B \triangle DAB and D C B \triangle DCB using the formula 1 2 a b sin C \dfrac{1}{2} ab \sin C . Take the sum, it is approximately 22.44737847 22.44737847 . Compute the area of the circular sector using the formula θ 360 π r 2 \dfrac{\theta}{360} \pi r^2 . It is approximately 13.57168026 13.57168026 . The difference of the two areas is the area of the shaded region, we have

A = 22.44737847 13.57168026 = 8.875698203 A= 22.44737847-13.57168026=\boxed{8.875698203}
