Long Answer Type Questions

1. In the figure, PSR, RTQ and PAQ are three semicircles of diameters 10 cm, 3 cm and 7
cm respectively. Find the perimeter of the shaded region

2. A square ABCD is circumscribed by a circle. If the side of the square is 5√2 cm, then find
the area of the circle not included in the square.
3. The area of an equilateral triangle is 49√3cm2. Taking each angular point as centre, circles
are drawn with radius half the length of the side of the triangle. Find the area of the triangle
not included in the circles
4. In the given figure, ABC is a right angled triangle at A. Semi circles are drawn on AB, AC
and BC. It is given that AB = 3cm, AC = 4cm. Find the area of the shaded region.
5. With the vertices A, B and C of a triangle ABC as centres, arcs are drawn with radii 7cm
each. If AB = 14 cm, BC = 48 cm and CA = 50 cm, find the area of the region left in a
triangle excluding three sectors.

6. In Figure, are shown two arcs PAQ and PBQ. Arc PAQ is a part of circle with centre O
and radius OP while arc PBQ is a semi-circle drawn on PQ as diameter with centre M. If
𝜋
OP = PQ = 10 cm, show that area of shaded region is 25 (√3 − 6 )cm2.
