Let the radius of circle having centre at ‘O’ be ‘r’
⇒ OA = (8 + r) cm and OE = (8 – r) cm
By Pythagoras theorem,
⇒ (8 + r)2 = (8 – r)2 + 42
⇒ 64 + r2 + 16r = 64 + r2 – 16r + 16
⇒ 32r = 16
⇒ r = 1/2 cm
⇒ Area of the circle = πr2
⇒ Area of the circle = (22/7) × (1/2)2
⇒ Area of the circle = 22/ (7 × 2 × 2)
∴ Area of the circle = 11/14 cm
