Lesson 22: Area Problems with Circular

Regions
Student Outcomes
Students determine the area of composite figures and of missing regions using
composition and decomposition of polygons.
Lesson Notes
Students learned how to calculate the area of circles previously in Grade 7. They apply this
knowledge in order to calculate the area of composite shapes throughout this lesson. The
problems become progressively more challenging. It is important to remind students that they
have all the necessary knowledge and skills for every one of these problems.
Classwork
Example 1 (5 minutes)
Allow students time to struggle through the following question. Use the bullet points to lead a
discussion to review the problem.
Example 1
a.
The circle to the right has a diameter of
12
cm.
Calculate the
area of the shaded region.
What information do we need to calculate the area?
MP.
1
We need the radius of the circle and the shaded fraction of

the circle.
What is the radius of the circle? How do you know?
The radius of the circle is
6 cm
since the length of the
radius is half the length of the diameter.
Now that we know the radius, how can we find the area of the
shaded region?
Scaffolding:
Place a prominent
visual display in the
classroom of a circle
and related key
relationships
(formulas for
circumference, area,
etc.).
Find the area of one quarter of the circle because the

circle is divided into four identical parts and only one part
is shaded.

Sasha, Barry, and Kyra wrote three different expressions for the area of the shaded
region. Describe what each student was thinking about the problem based on their
expression.
Sashas expression:

Sashas expression gets directly to the shaded area as it represents a quarter

of the area of the whole circle.
Barrys expression:

Barrys expression shows the area of the whole circle minus the unshaded area
of the circle or three-quarters of the area of the circle.
Kyras expression:

( 62 )
2 2
Kyras expression arrives at the shaded area by taking half the area of the
whole circle, which is half of the circle, and taking half of that area, which
leaves a quarter of the area of the whole circle.

Describe a strategy to find the area of the shaded region.
Find the area of the entire square, and subtract the area of the unshaded region
because the unshaded region is four quarter circles of equal radius or a whole
circle.

Part (b) asks for the exact area, which means the answer must be left in terms of
pi; part (c) asks for the approximate area, which means the answer must be
rounded off.
How would you estimate the shaded area?
Responses will vary. One possible response might be that the shaded area looks

Closing (2 minutes)
In calculating composite figures with circular regions, it is important to identify relevant

geometric areas; for example, identify relevant rectangles or squares that are part of a
figure with a circular region.
Next, determine which areas should be subtracted or added based on their positions in
the diagram.
Be sure to note whether a question asks for the exact or approximate area.
