Full solution

Q. In the figure, O O is the center of the circle. If the area of the shaded region is 42π 42 \pi , what is the diameter of the circle?
  1. Circle Area Formula: We know the formula for the area of a circle is A=πr2A = \pi \cdot r^2, where AA is the area and rr is the radius.
  2. Setting up Equation: Given the area of the shaded region is 42π42 \pi, we set up the equation 42π=πr242 \pi = \pi \cdot r^2.
  3. Solving for Radius: We can cancel π\pi from both sides of the equation, which leaves us with 42=r242 = r^2.
  4. Correcting Mistake: To find the radius, we take the square root of both sides, so r=42r = \sqrt{42}.
  5. Correcting Mistake: To find the radius, we take the square root of both sides, so r=42r = \sqrt{42}.But wait, we made a mistake. We should have simplified 4242 to 6×76 \times 7 before taking the square root. Let's correct that.
