## Question

Find the area of a quadrant of a circle whose circumference is $$22\, \rm{cm.}$$

## Text Solution

What is known?

A circle whose circumference is $$22\, \rm{cm.}$$

What is unknown?

Area of quadrant of a circle.

Reasoning:

Find the radius of the circle $$(r)$$ from the circumference $$(c),$$ $${\bf{C}} = 2\pi r$$

Therefore, \begin{align} r = \frac{c}{{2\pi }}\end{align}

Since quadrant means one of the four equal parts. Using unitary method, since four quadrants corresponds to Area of a circle

Therefore, Area of a quadrant

\begin{align}&= \frac{1}{4} \times {\text{Area of a circle}}\\&= \frac{1}{4} \times \pi {r^2}\end{align}

Steps:

Circumference \begin{align}\left( c \right) = 22{\text{ cm}}\end{align}

$$\text{Therefore,radius}$$ \begin{align}\rm{r} = \frac{C}{{2\pi }}\end{align}

\begin{align}&= \frac{{22}}{{2 \times \frac{{22}}{7}}}\\&= \frac{{22 \times 7}}{{2 \times 22}}\\
&= \frac{7}{2}\,\,\rm cm\end{align}

$$\text{Therefore,Area of a quadrant}$$ \begin{align}= \frac{1}{4} \times \pi {r^2}\end{align}

\begin{align}&= \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2}\rm c{m^2}\\ &= \frac{{77}}{8}\rm c{m^2}\end{align}
