A flower bed is the region lying between two circles of radii 14 m and 7 m drawn about the same centre, bounded on the two straight sides by radii that make an angle of 120° at the centre. Find its area in m². Take π = 22/7.

Question

Accepted Answer

154. Area = (120/360) × π(14² − 7²) = (1/3) × (22/7) × (196 − 49) = (1/3) × (22/7) × 147 = (1/3) × 462 = 154 m².

A flower bed is the region lying between two circles of radii 14 $m$ and 7 $m$ drawn about the same centre, bounded on the two straight sides by radii that make an angle of 120° at the centre. Find its area in $m^{2}$ . Take π = 22/7.
