(AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES)
Exercise 12.1
Question 1:
The radii of two circles are 19 cm and 9 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle which
has circumference equal to the sum of the circumferences of the two circles.
Answer 1:
Radius (r1) of 1st circle = 19 cm
Radius (r2) or 2nd circle = 9 cm Let the radius
of 3rd circle be r.
Circumference of 1st circle = 2πr1 = 2π (19) = 38π
Circumference of 2nd circle = 2πr2 = 2π (9) = 18π
Circumference of 3rd circle = 2πr
Given that,
Circumference of 3rd circle = Circumference of 1st circle + Circumference of 2nd circle
2πr = 38π + 18π = 56π
Therefore, the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the sum of the
circumference of the given two circles is 28 cm.
Question 2:
The radii of two circles are 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle having
area equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.
Answer 2:
Radius (r1) of 1st circle = 8 cm
Radius (r2) of 2nd circle = 6 cm
Let the radius of 3rd circle be r.
Area of 1st circle
Area of 2nd circle
Given that,
Area of 3rd circle = Area of 1st circle + Area of 2nd circle
However, the radius cannot be negative. Therefore, the radius of the circle having area
equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles is 10 cm.
Question 3:
Given figure depicts an archery target marked with its five scoring areas from the centre
outwards as Gold, Red, Blue, Black and White. The diameter of the region representing
Gold score is 21 cm and each of the other bands is 10.5 cm wide. Find the area of each of
the five scoring regions .
Answer 3:
Area of blue region = Area of 3rd circle − Area of 2nd circle
Area of black region = Area of 4th circle − Area of 3rd circle
Area of white region = Area of 5th circle − Area of 4th circle Circumference of wheel = 2πr
= 2π (40) = 80π cm
Speed of car = 66 km/hour
Distance travelled by the car in 10 minutes =
110000 × 10 = 1100000 cm
Let the number of revolutions of the wheel of the car be n. n × Distance travelled in 1
revolution (i.e., circumference)
= Distance travelled in 10 minutes
Therefore, each wheel of the car will make 4375 revolutions.
