The diagram shows a semi circle inside a rectangle of length 140m. the semi circle touches the rectangle at P, Q and R. Calculat
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
