Solution
Given AB =
cm, DC =
cm
Given, Distance between AB and DC = Height =
cm
We know that Area of the trapezium = (
) × (Sum of parallel sides) × Height
=
=
Given AB ∥ DC, ∴
and
Also given, radius of each arc =
cm
Therefore,
Area of the sector with central angle as A =
Area of the sector with central angle as D =
Area of the sector with central angle as B =
Area of the sector with central angle as C =
Hence, Total area of the sectors,
=
=
=
=
=
∴ we will get Area of shaded region = Area of trapezium – (Total area of sectors)
=
=
therefore, the area of shaded region is
.
