about Olympic games, students of Class-X took part in various activities
organised by the school. One such group of students made 5 circular rings
in the school lawn with the help of ropes. Each circular ring required 44 m
of rope.
Also, in the shaded regions as shown in the figure, students made rangoli
showcasing various sports and gamnes. It is given that AOAB is an
equilateral triangle and all unshaded regions are congruent.
