    ABCD is a rectangle with AB = 12 cm and BC = 8 cm. O is

    the centre of a circle touching the three sides AB, BC, and CD of the rectangle ABCD. Find the area (in cm ┬▓ ) of тЦ│ OBC.
    A 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ABCD is the rectangle where AB = CD = 12 cm and BC = AD = 8 cm. EF and BC are equal and parallel to each other. EF = BC = 8 cm Hence, EO = OF = 4 cm Thus, OEC = BCE = EOG = 90┬░ Hence, COB = 90┬░ Considering, the square ECGO and FBGO, OB = OC = 4тИЪ2 cm Now, triangle OBC is the right-angled triangle. Hence, the area of triangle OBC =1/2 x 8 x 4 = 16 cm┬▓
