Question

A rectangle is placed around a semicircle as shown below. The length of the rectangle is 14mm. Find the area of the shaded region. Use the value 3.14 for pi , and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Image is missing, so i have attached it

Answer:

21.07 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Formulas:

Area of semicircle = πr²/2

Area_rectangle = Length x width = Lw

We are given:

Length of rectangle = 14 mm

From the attached image, the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the length of the rectangle.

Thus;

diameter of semicircle = length of rectangle

Therefore,

diameter of semicircle = 14 mm

Also, from the attached image, the radius of the semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle.

Thus;

diameter of semicircle/2 = radius of semicircle

Hence;

radius of semicircle = 14/2 = 7mm = width of rectangle

Thus;

Area of rectangle = L*w = 14 × 7 = 98 mm²

Area of semicircle = πr²/2 = π×7²/2 = 76.93 mm²

To get the area of the shaded region, we will subtract area of the semi-circle from the area of the rectangle.

Area of shaded region = Area_rectangle - Area_semicircle = 98 - 76.93 = 21.07 mm²
