 LEVEL-I
1. The length of a wire which is tied as a boundary of semi-
circular park is 72m. Find the radius of the semi-circular
park and its area.
 2. A circular track 3.5m wide runs inside a circular garden of 56m
radius. Find the cost of levelling the track at Rs. 5 per sq. metre.

Area of the circular field with radius 56m = x56x56= 9856 m2

Area of the circular field excluding the circular track= x (52.5)2

=
8662.5 m2
now
Area of the circular track =
area of the field- area of field excluding the circular track

=9856-8662.5= 1193.5
Cost of leveling track at 5 per sq. m= 1193.5x5= Rs 5967.5

if the angle subtended at the centre by the segment is one third of a
right angle.
4. Two circles touch externally. The sum of their areas is 130 π
sq.cm and distance between their centres is 14 cm. Show that radii
of the circles are 11 cm and 3 cm.
5. Find the area of a ring shaped region enclosed between two
concentric circles of radii 20cm and 15 cm.
6. If the perimeter of a protractor is 72cm, calculate its area.
