find the area of the shaded part

first I tried to find out the area of $OAPB$ which can be found by adding triangles $OAP$ and $OBP$ which are similar, $AP$ and $BP$ are perpendicular to the radius and tangent to the circle$BP = 12\tan{37.5^0}=9.2 cm^2$

area $\Delta OBP= \frac{1}{2}(12)(9.2)=52.2 cm^2$

area $OAPD = 2(52.2)= 110.4 cm^2$

area of sector $\frac{75}{360}\pi 12^2 = 94.2 cm^2$

so shaded area $= 110.4 - 92.2 = 16.2 cm^2$

just seeing if this is OK i went over it quite a few times...
no ans given ...(Cool)(Coffee)
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Area of $\displaystyle OAPB$ is:

$\displaystyle 15\cdot12\sin(37.5^{\circ})$

Subtract the area of sector $\displaystyle OAB$:

$\displaystyle A_S=15\cdot12\sin(37.5^{\circ})-\frac{1}{2}12^2\cdot\frac{5\pi}{12}=180\sin(37.5^{\circ})-30\pi\approx15.329277613875924$

I have verified this using another method as well.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
