Math Problem Statement

From a circular card sheet of radius 14 cm, two circles of radius 3.5 cm each and a rectangle of length 3 cm and breadth 1 cm are removed. Find the area of the remaining sheet. (Take π = 22/7).

Solution

Let's solve the given problem step-by-step.


Problem:

From a circular card sheet of radius 14 cm, two circles of radius 3.5 cm each and a rectangle of length 3 cm and breadth 1 cm are removed. Find the area of the remaining sheet. Use π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}.


Step 1: Find the area of the original circular card sheet.

The formula for the area of a circle is:

Area=πr2\text{Area} = \pi r^2

Here, the radius r=14r = 14 cm. Substituting the values:

Area of the circular card=227×142\text{Area of the circular card} = \frac{22}{7} \times 14^2

First, calculate 142=19614^2 = 196:

Area=227×196=22×28=616cm2\text{Area} = \frac{22}{7} \times 196 = 22 \times 28 = 616 \, \text{cm}^2

So, the total area of the circular card is 616 cm².


Step 2: Find the total area removed.

(a) Area of two small circles

The radius of each smaller circle is r=3.5r = 3.5 cm. The area of one circle is:

Area of one circle=πr2=227×(3.5)2\text{Area of one circle} = \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times (3.5)^2

First, calculate (3.5)2=12.25(3.5)^2 = 12.25:

Area of one circle=227×12.25=22×1.75=38.5cm2\text{Area of one circle} = \frac{22}{7} \times 12.25 = 22 \times 1.75 = 38.5 \, \text{cm}^2

Thus, the total area of two circles is:

Total area of two circles=2×38.5=77cm2\text{Total area of two circles} = 2 \times 38.5 = 77 \, \text{cm}^2

(b) Area of the rectangle

The length of the rectangle is 33 cm, and the breadth is 11 cm. The area is:

Area of rectangle=length×breadth=3×1=3cm2\text{Area of rectangle} = \text{length} \times \text{breadth} = 3 \times 1 = 3 \, \text{cm}^2

Total area removed

The total area removed is:

Total area removed=77+3=80cm2\text{Total area removed} = 77 + 3 = 80 \, \text{cm}^2


Step 3: Find the area of the remaining sheet.

The area of the remaining sheet is:

Remaining area=Original areaRemoved area\text{Remaining area} = \text{Original area} - \text{Removed area}

Substituting the values:

Remaining area=61680=536cm2\text{Remaining area} = 616 - 80 = 536 \, \text{cm}^2


Final Answer:

The area of the remaining sheet is:

536cm2\boxed{536 \, \text{cm}^2}

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. How would the remaining area change if one more circle of radius 3.5 cm were removed?
  2. If the rectangle had dimensions 5 cm by 2 cm, how would the solution change?
  3. What is the perimeter of the original circular card sheet?
  4. How can this problem be solved if the value of π\pi is approximated to 3.14 instead of 227\frac{22}{7}?
  5. If only one circle and the rectangle were removed, what would be the remaining area?

Tip:

For problems involving areas of composite shapes, always break the problem into smaller parts, calculate each part separately, and then combine the results systematically.
