Areas Related to Circles

Perimeter and Area of a Circle: The perimeter of all the plain figures is the outer boundary of the figure. Likewise, the
outer boundary of the circle is the perimeter of the circle. The perimeter of circle is also called the Circumference of the
Circle.

Example: If a pizza is cut in such a way that it divides into 8 equal parts as shown in the figure, then what is the
area of each piece of the pizza? The radius of the circle shaped pizza is 7 cm.

Solution:
The pizza is divided into 8 equal parts, so the area of each piece is equal.
Area of 1 piece = 1/8 of area of circle

Perimeter and Area of the Semi-circle: The perimeter of the semi-circle is half of the circumference of original
circle plus diameter.

Area of the semi-circle is just half of the area of the circle.


Area of a Ring:

Area of the ring i.e. the coloured part in the above figure is calculated by subtracting the area of the inner circle from the
area of the bigger circle.

Where, R = radius of outer circle


r = radius of inner circle

Areas of Sectors of a Circle: The area formed by an arc and the two radii joining the endpoints of the arc is
called Sector.

Minor Sector:

The area including ∠AOB with point C is called Minor Sector. So OACB is the minor sector. ∠AOB is the angle of the
minor sector.

Major Sector:

The area including ∠AOB with point D is called the Major Sector. So OADB is the major sector. The angle of the major
sector is 360° – ∠AOB.
Area of Major Sector = πr2 - Area of the Minor Sector

Remark: Area of Minor Sector + Area of Major Sector = Area of the Circle
Length of an Arc of a Sector of Angle θ: An arc is the piece of the circumference of the circle so an arc can be
calculated as the θ part of the circumference.

[Length of minor arc = θ / 360×2πr=θ / 180×πr, Length of major arc = (360−θ / 360) ×2πr]

Areas of Segments of the Circle: The area made by an arc and a chord is called the Segment of the Circle.

Minor Segment: The area made by chord AB and arc X is the minor segment. The area of the minor segment can be
calculated by

Area of Minor Segment = Area of Minor Sector – Area of ∆ABO

Note:
 sin (90° + θ) = cos θ
 cos (90° + θ) = - sin θ
 tan (90° + θ) = - cot θ

Major Segment: The other part of the circle except for the area of the minor segment is called a Major Segment.

Area of Major Segment = πr2 - Area of Minor Segment

Remark: Area of major segment + Area of minor segment = Area of circle


Areas of Combinations of Plane Figures: As we know how to calculate the area of different shapes, so we can find
the area of the figures which are made with the combination of different figures.

Example: Find the area of the colored part if the given triangle is equilateral and its area is 17320.5 cm2. Three circles
are made by taking the vertex of the triangles as the centre of the circle and the radius of the circle is the half of the
length of the side of the triangle. (π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73205)

Solution:
Given, ABC is an equilateral triangle, so ∠A, ∠B, ∠C = 60°
Hence the three sectors are equal, of angle 60°.
Required
To find the area of the shaded region.
Area of shaded region =Area of ∆ABC – Area of 3 sectors
Area of ∆ABC = 17320.5 cm2
Side = 200 cm
As the radius of the circle is half of the length of the triangle, so
Radius = 100 cm

Area of 3 Sectors = 3 × 15700/3 cm2 cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of ∆ABC – Area of 3 sectors
= 17320.5 - 15700 cm2
= 1620.5 cm2

Example: Find the area of the shaded part, if the side of the square is 8 cm and the 44 cm.

Solution:
Required region = Area of circle – Area of square
= πr2 – (side)2
Circumference of circle = 2πr = 44

Radius of the circle = 7 cm


Area of circle = πr2

Area of square = (side) 2 = (8)2 = 64 cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of circle – Area of square
= 154 cm2 - 64 cm2
= 90 cm2
