Question

The diagram shows a semi circle inside a rectangle of length 140m. the semi circle touches the rectangle at P, Q and R. Calculate the perimeter of the shaded region. give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. ITS ON MATHSWATCH PLS HELP!!!

Answer 1

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
