1. Problem Description

A trapezium with sides 10 cm and 21 cm, and height 8 cm is inscribed in a circle of radius 7 cm. The problem asks us to find the area of the region not covered by the trapezium. We are given π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we find the area of the circle.
The area of a circle is given by the formula:
Acircle=πr2A_{circle} = \pi r^2
Here, r=7r = 7 cm, and π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}. So,
Acircle=227×(7)2=227×49=22×7=154A_{circle} = \frac{22}{7} \times (7)^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 49 = 22 \times 7 = 154 cm2^2
Next, we find the area of the trapezium. The area of a trapezium is given by the formula:
Atrapezium=12(a+b)hA_{trapezium} = \frac{1}{2} (a+b)h
where aa and bb are the lengths of the parallel sides, and hh is the height. Here, a=10a = 10 cm, b=21b = 21 cm, and h=8h = 8 cm.
Atrapezium=12(10+21)×8=12(31)×8=31×4=124A_{trapezium} = \frac{1}{2} (10+21) \times 8 = \frac{1}{2} (31) \times 8 = 31 \times 4 = 124 cm2^2
Finally, to find the area of the region not covered by the trapezium, we subtract the area of the trapezium from the area of the circle:
Auncovered=AcircleAtrapezium=154124=30A_{uncovered} = A_{circle} - A_{trapezium} = 154 - 124 = 30 cm2^2

3. Final Answer

The area of the region not covered by the trapezium is 30 cm2^2.
So the answer is C. 30 cm2^2.
