From each corner of a square of side 4 cm a quadrant of a circle of radius 1 cm is cut and also a circle of diameter 2 cm is cut as shown in the figure. Find the area of the remaining portion of the square.
Given:
From each corner of a square of side 4 cm a quadrant of a circle of radius 1 cm is cut and also a circle of diameter 2 cm is cut.
To do:
We have to find the area of the remaining portion of the square.
Solution:
Length of the side of the square $ABCD = 4\ cm$
Area of the square $ABCD = 4^2$
$= 16\ cm^2$
Radius of the quadrant at each corner $= 1\ cm$
Area of the quadrant at each corner $=\frac{\pi r^{2} \theta}{360^{\circ}}$
$=\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{1 \times 1 \times 90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}$
$=\frac{22}{28} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
Area of the 4 sectors at corners $=\frac{4 \times 22}{28}$
$=\frac{22}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
Area of the circle at the centre of the square having radius $1 \mathrm{~cm}$
$=\pi r^{2}$
$=\frac{22}{7}(1)^{2}$
$=\frac{22}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
Total area to be cut out from the square $=$ Area of the 4 sectors $+$ Area of the circle at the centre
$=\frac{22}{7}+\frac{22}{7}$
$=\frac{44}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
Therefore,
Area of the remaining portion $=$ Area of the square $-$ Area to be cut from square
$= 16 - \frac{44}{7}$
$=\frac{112-44}{7}$
$= \frac{68}{7}\ cm^2$
