Fig. 12.3 depicts an archery target marked with its five scoring regions 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.
Fig. 12.3 depicts an archery target marked with its five scoring regions 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.

Solution:

r1 = 21/2 cm is the radius of the first circle (as diameter D is given as 21 cm)

As a result, the area of the gold region = π r12 = π(10.5)= 346.5 cm2.

Given that each of the remaining bands is 10.5 cm wide,

As a result, the radius of the second circle, r2 = 10.5cm+10.5cm = 21 cm 

As a result, the area of the red zone = the area of the second circle − and the area of the gold region = (πr22−346.5) cm2

= (π(21)2 − 346.5) cm2

= 1386 − 346.5

= 1039.5 cm2

In the same way,

r3 = 21 cm+10.5 cm = 31.5 cm is the radius of 3rd circle

r4 = 31.5 cm+10.5 cm = 42 cm is the radius of 4th circle

r5 = 42 cm+10.5 cm = 52.5 cm is the Radius of 5th circle

For the nth regions ,area

A = Area of circle n – Area of circle (n-1)

Therefore, Area of blue region (n=3) = Area of third circle – Area of second circle

= π(31.5)2 – 1386 cm2

= 3118.5 – 1386 cm2

= 1732.5 cm2

Therefore, Area of black region (n=4) = Area of fourth circle – Area of third circle

= π(42)2 – 1386 cm2

= 5544 – 3118.5 cm2

= 2425.5 cm2

Therefore, Area of white region (n=5) = Area of fifth circle – Area of fourth circle

= π(52.5)2 – 5544 cm2

= 8662.5 – 5544 cm2

= 3118.5 cm2
