We can see from the diagram that the length of the rectangle is 2 lots of the radius of one quarter circle. The width is made up of one radius, therefore the width is half of the length.
This means that the width of the rectangle is 9cm, and the radius of each quarter circle is 9cm.
To find the shaded area, we find the area of the rectangle and subtract from the areas of each circle, which are equal:
A = lw - 1/2(pi x r^2)
A = 9 x 18 - 1/2(81pi)
A = 162 - 81/2 pi
A = 34.8cm (3sf)
Ratios and proportions tie into each other. A ratio in real life would be basically comparing two quantities, as a proportion would be solving for the similar ratio or the equal ratio to another.
Answer:
GQ=25 units
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Point Q is the midpoint of GH
so
GH=GQ+QH and GQ=QH
GH=2GQ -------> equation A
we have
GH=5x-5
GQ=2x+3
substitute in the equation A and solve for x
5x-5=2(2x+3)
5x-5=4x+6
5x-4x=6+5
x=11
Find the length of GQ
GQ=2x+3
substitute the value of x
GQ=2(11)+3
GQ=25 units
