Answers:
- x = 7
- Area of shaded region = 162 square units
You may need to leave off the "square units" portion.
=============================================
Explanation:
For now, ignore the smaller rectangle and its dimensions. The larger rectangle has sides 3x and x+5, which I'll call the length and width.
L = 3x
W = x+5
The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W). Plug in those values of L and W, and also the given perimeter P = 66. Isolate x.
P = 2(L+W)
2(L+W) = P
2(3x+x+5) = 66
2(4x+5) = 66
8x+10 = 66
8x = 66-10
8x = 56
x = 56/8
x = 7
-------------------
Now that we know x, we can find the area of the rectangles.
As you probably can guess, the shaded region is the difference of the two areas.
A = area of larger rectangle
A = (length)*(width)
A = (3x)*(x+5)
A = (3*7)*(7+5)
A = 252
B = area of smaller rectangle
B = (x+3)*(x+2)
B = (7+3)*(7+2)
B = 90
C = area of shaded region
C = A - B
C = 252 - 90
C = 162 square units is the area of the shaded region.
If you're supposed to find the measure of the arc:
The minor arc CD has the same measure as the central angle it subtends. In this case, arc CD has measure 50º. In radians, that's
50º * (π/180 rad/º) = 5π/18 rad
If you instead meant to ask about finding the length of the arc CD, recall that arc lengths and their subtended central angles occur in a fixed ratio equal to the ratio of the circle's total circumference to 2π rad. In other words, if <em>L</em> is the length of the minor arc CD, then
<em>L</em> /(5π/18 rad) = 2π (7 cm) / (2π rad)
==> <em>L</em> = 35π/18 cm
(Notice that arc measure is given radians, while arc length is given in cm, which is why I offer two different answers here.)
