Answer: 346.5 square cm (approximate)
Work Shown
A = area of a circle
A = pi*r^2
A = (22/7)*r^2 ... which is approximate
A = (22/7)*(21)^2
A = 1386
The full circle has approximate area 1386 square cm.
Divide this by 4 to get the area of each quarter portion.
1386/4 = 346.5
Answer:
346.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the circular clock is divided into four equal parts, we can find the area of each part by finding a quarter of the area of a circle with a radius of 21 cm.
The formula for the area of circle with radius r is A = πr². Therefore, the formula for the area of a quarter of a circle is:
[tex]\textsf{Area of a quarter of a circle}=\dfrac{\pi r^2}{4}[/tex]
Substitute r = 21 and π = 22/7 into the equation:
[tex]A=\dfrac{\frac{22}{7} \cdot 21^2}{4}[/tex]
Solve:
[tex]A=\dfrac{\frac{22}{7} \cdot 441}{4}[/tex]
[tex]A=\dfrac{\frac{9702}{7}}{4}[/tex]
[tex]A=\dfrac{1386}{4}[/tex]
[tex]A=346.5\; \sf cm^2[/tex]
Therefore, the area of each coloured part of the circular clock is:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\boxed{346.5\; \sf cm^2}}[/tex]
