circle c has radius of 10 cm. each of the points B and D is on yhe midpoint of the radius. find the shaded area.

It matters what the angle is between the two radius rays are.

45.19cm

To find the shaded area in circle C, we first need to determine the areas of the two sectors and subtract the area of the triangle.

First, let's find the area of one of the sectors.
The formula for the area of a sector is given by:
Area of Sector = (θ/360) * π * r²,
where θ is the central angle and r is the radius of the circle.

Since the angle at the center is 360 degrees in a complete circle, and the angle at the center is split into two equal parts by the radius, each central angle of the sector is 360/2 = 180 degrees.
Plugging in the values, we can calculate the area of one of the sectors:
Area of Sector = (180/360) * π * 10² = 0.5 * π * 100 = 50π square cm.

Now, let's find the area of the triangle.
The triangle is an isosceles triangle since two sides equal the radius of the circle, and the base is the diameter, which is twice the radius.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the height of the triangle, which is also the radius of the circle.
Applying the theorem, we have:
radius² + base² = hypotenuse²,
r² + (2r)² = (2r)²,
r² + 4r² = 4r²,
5r² = 4r²,
r² = 0.

Since r² = 0, this implies that r = 0. However, r cannot be 0 in this context. Therefore, there seems to be an error in the problem statement or calculation. Please double-check the given information or confirm whether r = 0 is a valid value.

Once you have the correct value of the radius, you can find the area of the triangle using the formula:
Area of Triangle = (base * height) / 2.

To find the shaded area, subtract the area of the triangle from the sum of the two sector areas.
Shaded Area = (2 * Area of Sector) - Area of Triangle.

Please provide the correct value of the radius to proceed with the calculations.
