Question
In the given figure, from a rectangular region $A B C D$ with $A B=20 cm$, a right triangle $A E D$ with $A E=9 cm$ and $D E=12 cm$, is cut off. On the other end, taking $BC$ as diameter, a semicircle is added on outside the region. Find the area of the shaded region. [Use $\pi=3.14$ ]

Answer

$ \text { In right-angled } \triangle \mathrm{AED},$
$ \mathrm{AD}^2=\mathrm{DE}^2+\mathrm{AE}^2=12^2+9^2=144+81=225$
$ \Rightarrow \mathrm{AD}=\sqrt{225}=15 \mathrm{~cm}$
$ \text { Now, Area of } \triangle \mathrm{AED}=\frac{1}{2} \times \mathrm{DE} \times \mathrm{AE}=\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 9=54 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
$ \text { Length of rectangle } \mathrm{ABCD}=\mathrm{AB}=20 \mathrm{~cm}$
$ \text { Breadth of rectangle } \mathrm{ABCD}=\mathrm{AD}=15 \mathrm{~cm}$
$ \therefore \text { Area of rectangle } \mathrm{ABCD}=\mathrm{AB} \times \mathrm{BC}=20 \times 15=300 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
$ \text { Area of semi-circle }=\frac{1}{2} \pi \times\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)^2=\left\{\frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times 7.5 \times 7.5\right\} \mathrm{cm}^2=88.3125 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
$ \text { Thus, Area of rectangle } \mathrm{ABCD}+\text { Area of semi-circle }- \text { Area of } \triangle \mathrm{AED}$
$ =300+88.31-54$
$ =334.31 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
