Question 13
- A round table cover has six equal designs as shown in Fig. 11.11. If the radius of the cover is 28 cm, find the cost of making the designs at the rate of ₹ 0.35 per . (Use )

We need to find the total area of the six designs and then calculate the cost.
Step 1 — Find the area of one design
The round table cover has a radius of 28 cm. There are six equal designs. These designs are segments of the circle. Let's find the angle of each sector.
Consider one sector, say OAB. OA and OB are radii, so . The angle is . Since two sides are equal and the included angle is , triangle OAB is equilateral. Let's calculate the area of this sector.
Now, let's find the area of the equilateral triangle OAB.
The area of one design is the area of the sector minus the area of the triangle.

Step 2 — Calculate the total area of all designs
There are 6 such designs. We will multiply the area of one design by 6.
Step 3 — Calculate the total cost
The cost of making the designs is ₹ 0.35 per . We multiply the total area by the cost per square centimeter.
Answer
The cost of making the designs is ₹ 162.68.
