16. In fig., ABC is a right-angled triangle, right-angled at A. Semicircles are drawn on AB, AC and
BC as diameters. Find the area of the shaded region.

Ans. In right-angled ΔABC, AB2 + AC2 = BC2 [By Pythagoras theorem]

19. Governing council of a local public development authority of Dehradun decided to build an
adventurous playground on the top of a hill, which will have adequate space for parking.
After survey, it was decided to build rectangular playground, with a semi–circular area allotted
for parking at one end of the playground. The length and breadth of the rectangular playground
are 14 units and 7 units, respectively. There are two quadrants of radius 2 units on one side for
special seats.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(a) What is the total perimeter of the parking area? (1)
(b) What is the total area of parking and the two quadrants? (2)
OR
What is the ratio of area of playground to the area of parking area?

crops in the circular region.
Two such high powers sprinklers, occupying negligible area are installed in a straight line in a
field such that they spray water on an common area. Shown below are the side and top views
where points A and B are the sprinklers.
