Correct Answer: $600 \pi-450 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Solution : OA = O’A = OB = OB’ = OO’ = 30 cm In triangle AOO’, OA = O’A = OO’ = 30 cm ( As all three sides of AOO' are equal, so it is an equilateral triangle) ⇒ $∠AOO’ = 60°$ ⇒ $∠AOB = 120°$ In triangle ACO, $AC^2 = OA^2 - OC^2 =30^2-15^2= 900 - 225$ ⇒ $AC^2 = 675$ ⇒ $AC = 15\sqrt3$ So, $AB = 30\sqrt3$ Area of AO’BA = Area of sector AO’BO $-$ Area of triangle AOB = $=\frac{\pi(30)^2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}\times 30\sqrt3\times 15$ $=\frac{900π}{3}- 225\sqrt3$ $=300π - 225\sqrt3$ $\therefore$ Area of intersecting region = 2(Area of AO’BA) $=600π - 450\sqrt3$ cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is $600π - 450\sqrt3$ cm 2 .
