21m. If the cost of planting is Rs. 4.00 per square metre, then find the total cost of planting grass.

Solution:

We have,
Width of the circular strip = 7m
And Radius of the inner edge of circular strip, = 21m
∴ Radius of the outer edge of circular strip, U = 21 + 7 m = 28m
Then, Area of the circular strip = U − m

= 28 − 21 m

Chord: The line segment joining any two points of a circle is called a chord of the circle.
Arc: A part of a circle between two distinct points on it, is called an arc of the circle.
Sector: The portion of the circular region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc of a circle
is called a sector of the circle.
Sectorial Angle: Angle formed by the two radii of a sector at the centre of the circle is called sectorial
angle. It is denoted by Z.
Segment: The portion of the circular region enclosed by a chord and the corresponding arc of a circle is
called a segment of the circle.
