Cavalieri's Principle and Volume of Composite Figures

Question 118983 • (OC27) GEO-1206310-S2-Degele-VOL7006P

The cross-sectional area of the shaded circle is πx2. Using the Pythagorean theorem for the right triangle, we get x2 + b2 = r2. Now solve for x2 and substitute it into the area expression.What is the result?

Answer
A
π(r2 – b2)
B
π(r2 + b2)
C
π(b2 – r2)
D
2π(b2 + r2)

Explanation

From x² + b² = r², subtract b² from both sides to get x² = r² − b². Substitute this into the area formula πx²: the area is π(r² − b²), which is choice A.
