In the diagram, O is the centre of the circle and PQ is a diameter. Triangle RSO is an equilateral triangle of side 4cm. Find the area of the shaded region

A.

43.36cm2

B.

32.072

C.

18.212

D.

6.932

Correct answer is C

Area of shaded portion = Area of semicircle

Area of RSO

Area of semicircle = πr22=22×4×47×2

= 25.14cm2; Area of RSO

=s(s1)(sb)(sc); where

s = a+b+c2

s = 4+4+42

= 6cm

= 6(64)(64)(64)

= 6(2)(2)(2)

= 18 = 6.93cm2

Area of shaded region

= 25.14 - 6.93

= 18.21cm2
