In the adjoining diagram, $\overline{ AB }$ and $\overline{ CD }$ are diameters of $\odot( O , 7\, cm )$ perpendicular to each other. $A$ circle is drawn with diameter $\overline{ OD }$. Find the area of the shaded region. (in $cm^2$)

The ratio of the areas of the circles with radii $8 \, cm$ and $12 \, cm$ is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots .$

As shown in the diagram, rectangle $ABCD$ is a metal sheet in which $CD = 20 \, cm$ and $BC = 14 \, cm$. From it, a semicircle with diameter $\overline{BC}$ and a sector with centre $A$ and radius $AD$ is cut off. Find the area of the remaining sheet in $cm^2$.

If the length of an arc of a circle of radius $r$ is equal to that of an arc of a circle of radius $2r$,then the angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is double the angle of the corresponding sector of the other circle. Is this statement false? Why?

Is it true that the distance travelled by a circular wheel of diameter $d \text{ cm}$ in one revolution is $2 \pi d \text{ cm}$? Why?

Four circular cardboard pieces of radii $7 \, cm$ are placed on a paper in such a way that each piece touches the other two pieces. Find the area of the portion enclosed between these pieces (in $cm^2$).
