As can be seen, OAB is an equilateral triangle with sides =10, => angle AOB = 60^@

a) perimeter of shaded region = arc CD+arc CE +arc CD (arc CE = arc DE) :

=> 2pi(15)xx60/360 + 2xx(2pi(5)xx120/360)

=5pi+(20pi)/3 = (35pi)/3 (proved)

b) Area of the shaded region (A_s)= Area OCD - Area OAB - 2(Area ACE). (note Area ACE = Area BDE)

=> A_s = pi(15)^2xx60/360-sqrt3/4(10)^2-2(pi(5)^2xx120/360)

=22.15
