A circle of radius 2 is centered at O. Square OABC has side length 1. Sides AB and CB are extended past B to meet the circle at D and E, respectively. What is the area of the shaded region in the figure, which is bounded by BD, BE, and the minor arc connecting D and E?
Pick one
Solution
The shaded area is equivalent to the area of sector DOE minus the area of triangle DOE plus the area of triangle DBE. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, (DA)2=(CE)2=22−12=3 so DA=CE=3. Clearly, DOA and EOC are 30−60−90 triangles with ∠EOC=∠DOA=60∘. Since OABC is a square, ∠COA=90∘. ∠DOE can be found by doing some subtraction of angles. ∠COA−∠DOA=∠DOC=∠EOA 90∘−60∘=∠EOA=30∘ ∠DOA−∠EOA=∠DOE 60∘−30∘=∠DOE=30∘ So, the area of sector DOE is 36030⋅π⋅22=3π. The area of triangle DOE is 21⋅2⋅2⋅sin30∘=1. Since AB=CB=1 , DB=EB=(3−1). So, the area of triangle DBE is 21⋅(3−1)2=2−3. Therefore, the shaded area is (3π)−(1)+(2−3)=(A) 3π+1−3 OR △ODA has the same height as △OBD which is 1. We already know that BD=3−1. Therefore the area of △OBD is (3−1)⋅1⋅21=23−1. Since △OBD=△OBE=23−1. Therefore the sum of the areas is 2⋅23−1=3−1. Then the area of the shaded area becomes 3π−(3−1)=(A) 3π+1−3. ~mathboy282
