Q. 19
Protul has drawn an equilateral triangle ABC picture beside of which length of each side is 10 cm. Sumita has drawn three circular arcs centering A, B, C with the length of radius 5 cm. and has coloured some portion at the middle. Let us write by calculating the area of coloured portion.

Answer :
Given: ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle with side 10 cm, Arcs centered at B and C have radius 5 cm.
We need to find the area of the colored portion.
Area of colored portion = Area of ∆ABC – Area of sectors centered at B and C.
∵ ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle
We know that
Area of a equilateral trianglewhere a is the side of it.
⇒ Area of ∆ABC = 43.3cm2
For the sectors,
Radius = 5 cm and angle subtended = 60°
{∵∆ABC is an equilateral triangle and each angle of it is 60°}
We know that the area of the minor sector
⇒ Area of sector centered at
⇒ Area of sector centered at B =13.095 cm2
Total area of both the sectors centered at B and C = 13.095 + 13.095 = 26.19 cm2
⇒ Area of colored portion = 43.3 – 26.19 = 17.11 cm2
