The diagram above shows the shaded segment of a circle of radius 7cm. if the area of the triangle OXY is 12\(\frac{1}{4}\)cm\(^2\), calculate the area of the segment
[Take π = 22/7]

A.

5/12cm2

B.

7/12cm2

C.

11/6cm2

D.

2 1/3cm2

E.

6 1/6cm2

Correct answer is B

Area of \(\Delta OXY\) = \(12\frac{1}{4} cm^2\)

Area of sector OXY = \(\frac{30}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7\)

= \(\frac{77}{6} = 12\frac{5}{6} cm^2\)

Area of the shaded portion = \(12\frac{5}{6} - 12\frac{1}{4}\)

= \(\frac{7}{12} cm^2\)

The area of a parallelogram is 513cm\(^2\) and the height is 19cm. Calculate the base.

A.

13.5cm

B.

25cm

C.

27cm

D.

54cm

E.

108cm

Correct answer is C

Area of parallelogram = base \(\times\) height.

\(513 = base \times 19 \implies base = \frac{513}{19}\)

= 27 cm

The volume of a cone of height 9cm is 1848cm\(^3\). Find its radius. [Take π = 22/7]

A.

7cm

B.

14cm

C.

28cm

D.

98cm

E.

196cm

Correct answer is B

1/3 πr\(^2\) x 9 = 1848
3 x πr2 = 1848 r2 = 1848/3 x 7/22 r = 14

\(\text{Volume of a cone} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\)

\(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 9 = 1848\)

\(r^2 = \frac{1848 \times 7}{22 \times 3}\)

\(r^2 = 196 \therefore r = 14cm\)
