A circle of radius 2 cm is cut out from a square piece of an aluminium sheet of side
6 cm. What is the area of the leftover aluminium sheet? (Take π = 3.14)
Show solutionHide solution
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that
Radius of circle = 2 cm
Square sheet side = 6 cm
First, we have to find out the area of the square aluminium sheet and circle to find out the remaining area.
Now,
Area of the square = side2
= 62
= 36 cm2
Area of the circle = πr2
= 3.14 × 22
= 3.14 × 2 × 2
= 3.14 × 4
= 12.56 cm2
Now,
The area of the remaining part = Area of the aluminium square sheet – The area of the circle
= 36 – 12.56
= 23.44 cm2
