Answer:
The area of the shaded part is 36.53 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimension of the side of the square ABCD = 8 cm
The shaded part is seen to be the area of intersection of two quarter circles
The dimension of the radius of the quarter circles = The side length of the square
Therefore;
The dimension of the radius of the quarter circles = 8 cm
The figure can be taken as being formed by the two quarter circles with a square removed
The shaded area is the
Therefore, the area of the shaded part Sₐ, is given by the relation;
Sₐ = Area of first quarter circle + Area of second quarter circle - Area of the square
Given that the dimensions (radius) of the two quarter circles are the same, we have;
Area of first quarter circle = Area of second quarter circle = (π × 8²)/4 cm²
Area of the square = (Side length of the square)² = 8² = 64 cm²
Sₐ = (π × 8^2)/4 + (π × 8^2)/4 - 64 = 36.53 cm²
The area of the shaded part = 36.53 cm².
