#### Question

In the figure given below, ABCD is the rectangle. AB = 14 cm, BC = 7 cm. From the rectangle, a quarter circle BFEC and a semicircle DGE are removed. Calculate the area of the remaining piece of the rectangle. (Take pi = 22/7).

#### Solution

Considering the given figure:

Given dimensions of the rectangle: AB = 14 cm and BC =  7 cm

⇒ Radius of the quarter circle = 7 cm

Area of the quarter circle = 1/2 xx 22/7 xx 7^2 sq. cm = 77/2 sq. cm

Since EC = 7 cm and DC = 14 cm, we have

Therefore, radius of the semi circle =  7/2 cm

=> Area of the semi circle = 1/2 xx 22/7 xx (7/2)^2 sq. cm = 77/4 sq. cm

Now, are of  rectangle ABCD = AB x BC = 14 x 7 = 98 sq. cm

∴ Required area =  Area of rectangle ABCD - [Area(BCEF) + Area(DGE)]

= 98 - 77/2 - 77/4

= 161/4

= 40.25 sq. cm

Is there an error in this question or solution?
