Q) A car has two wipers which do not overlap. Each wiper has a blade of length 21 cm sweeping through an angle of 120°. Find the total area cleaned at each sweep of the two blades.

Ans:

Area cleaned by a blade = π r2 \frac{\theta}{360}

= \frac{22}{7} x 21 x 21 x \frac{120}{360}

= \frac{22}{7} x 21 x 21 x \frac{1}{3}

= 22 x 21

= 462 cm2

The area cleaned by 2 blades:

= 462 x 2

= 924 cm2

Therefore, the area cleaned by two blades = 924 cm2
