In the diagram, the radius of the outer circle is
1 answer:
the value of x is 8 cm.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Correct Question : In the diagram, the radius of the outer circle is 2x cm and the radius of the inside circle is 6 cm. The area of the shaded region is 220π cm2. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.
We have ,
the area of a circle = πr²
the outer circle area =
the inside circle area =
According to Question,
the outer circle area - the inside circle area = he shaded region
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Therefore , the value of x is 8 cm.

- Find x.
To solve these type of problems you need to use the pythagoras theorem ⇨ Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude².
Here,
- Altitude = 1.6 cm.
- Base = 1.2 cm
- Hypotenuse = x
Now, let's solve for x.
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²
x² = (1.2)² + (1.6)²
x² = 1.44 + 2.56
x² = 4
x = √4
x = <em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
- So, the value of x is <em><u>2</u><u> </u><u>cm.</u></em>
- Pythagoras theorem can be used only in the cases of right-angled triangles. Here, it's given that the triangle is right angled so we can use this theorem.
- To solve the squares if decimals, take them as whole numbers & then just add the decimal points. For example, ⇨ for (1.2)², take it as 12² , then multiply 12 by 12, you'll get 144. Now, add the decimal place accordingly ⇨ 1.44 . So, (1.2)² = 1.44.
