CHECK MY ANSWER!!!! Given: BC = 10 inches AC = √50 inches m∠CBD = 60° m∠CAD = 90° https://wca.sooschools.com/media/g_geo_ccss_2016/8/img_overlap2.gif Calculate the exact area of the shaded region. Show all work for full credit. My answer- Area of shaded figure = area of sector CBD + area of sector CAD - area of CBD- area of CAD = 60/360 * π * 10² + 90/360 * π * (√50)² - √3/4 * 10² - 1/2 (√50)² = 50π/3 + 25π/2 - 50√3/2 - 50/2 = 175π- 150√3 - 150 = 6 sq/in Area of sector = x/360 * πr²

@Vocaloid

Rainluke01:

give me a min and i will help

Vocaloid:

@sillybilly123 @mhchen would you mind double checking this if you have a chance

sammirosesharp:

Anyone :(

loveboy:

that was really a good question

loveboy:

okay,so before proceeding to solution ,we have to take an assumption point A is a circumcenter of triangle CED

loveboy:

from there,we conclude that angle BDA is of 90 degrees

loveboy:

so remaining angle would be of 120 degrees

loveboy:

let area of black portion be x area of orange portion be y and yellow shaded region is our goal

loveboy:

|dw:1512503333371:dw|

loveboy:

now, x=area of quad - area of sector CBD y=area of quad-area of sector CAD

loveboy:

and suppose area of quad be Q

loveboy:

therefore, area of yellow shaded portion=Q-x-y =Q-(Q-area of sector CBD)-(Q-area of sector CAD) =Q-Q+area of sector CBD-Q+area of sector CAD =area of sector CBD+area of sector CAD-Q

loveboy:

this seems unrealisitic but we have no choice except of doing that :(

loveboy:

you already calculated the area of both sectors,that's very good and now,we have to calculate the area of quad

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @loveboy okay,so before proceeding to solution ,we have to take an assumption point A is a circumcenter of triangle CED \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) from this and this http://www.gogeometry.com/problem/p111_orthogonal_circles_elearning.htm we concluded that angle BDA is of 90 degrees

loveboy:

|dw:1512503794797:dw|

loveboy:

you have two triangles now,you can easily calculate the areas and then add up and put in the given equation and hence you find your sol

loveboy:

and yeah if you have any prob,please do let me know :)

loveboy:

hope this helps :D
