[2 marks]
4.
A trapezoid with bases measuring 8 cm and 5 cm, and height 6 cm, is shaded in a diagram. Calculate the shaded area.
[3 marks]
5.
A rectangular engineering component measures 20 cm by 15 cm. If 1/3 of the surface is to be painted and shaded for insulation, what area will be shaded?
[2 marks]
6.
A gear with a diameter of 14 cm has a shaded sector of 90°. Calculate the area of the shaded sector.
[3 marks]
7.
In an engineering drawing, a shaded region represents the material to be removed for a slot. If the slot is a rectangle measuring 4 cm by 2 cm, how much area is shaded?
[2 marks]
8.
A circular pipe with radius 5 cm has a segment shaded, representing a partial cut. The segment subtends a 120° angle at the center. Calculate the shaded area.
[3 marks]
9.
A rectangular frame measures 30 cm by 20 cm, with a central rectangular opening measuring 10 cm by 5 cm. Shade the remaining region and calculate its area.
[3 marks]
10.
