e the perimeter of the shaded region. give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. ITS ON MATHSWATCH PLS HELP!!!
1 answer:
Answer: 250m
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of rectangle = 140m
Length of rectangle = diameter of semicircle = 140m
Therefore, Radius(r) = 140m / 2 = 70m
Perimeter of the shaded region:
Length of tangent at P + length of tangent at Q + shaded portion of arc(AB)
Length of tangent = diameter / 2
Length of tangent = 70m
Perimeter of a circle = 2πr = 2 × 22/7 × 70 = 440m
shaded portion = 440 / 4 = 110m
Therefore, perimeter of shaded portion equals
70m + 70m + 110m = 250m

Answer:
A ≈ 269.81 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
This shape is a hexagon (it has 6 sides) so let's use the formula for the area of a hexagon.
A =
Where s is the length of the sides
Substitute:
A =
A =
Solve:
A =
A =
Multiply the numerator:
A =
A ≈
(The numerator reflects a rounded number, but the actual calculations are exact)
Divide the fraction:
A ≈
A ≈ 2.6(100)
Multiply:
A ≈ 2.6(100)
A ≈ 269.81 cm²
Therefore, the area is approximately 269.82 cubic centimeters.
