Answer:
11.68ft or 11.68 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question, we are told that:
Area of the square and the Area semicircle is to be 190 ft squared.
We are also told in the question that:
The window has the shape of a square with a semicircle mounted on it.
Hence, the Diameter of the semicircle = Width of the Square
Let the Width of the square = x
Area of a square = Width²
= x²
Let the Diameter of the semi circle = x
Radius of the semi circle = Diameter of the semi circle/2 = x/2
Area of a semicircle = πr²/2
Area of a the semi Circle = π ×(x/2)² /2
= (πx²/4)/2
= πx²/8
Therefore,
Area of a square + Area of a semicircle = 190ft²
= x² + πx²/8 = 190
Cross Multiply
x² + πx² = 190
= x² ( 1 + π/8) = 190
x² = (190)/(1 + π/8)
x² = 136.42573798
x = √136.42573798
x = 11.680142892ft
Approximately x ≈ 11.68ft
Therefore, the width of the window = 11.68ft
