Question

The diagram above shows a rectangle inscribed in a circle AB=10 and AC =12 caculate the total surface area of the shaded part

Answer 1

Answer:

$71.63 \: \: \mathrm{cm^2 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Once we know the diameter of the circle, we can figure out the problem.

The diameter of the circle = The diagonal of the rectangle inscribed in the circle

To find the diagonal of the rectangle, we can use a formula.

$d=\sqrt{w^2 + l^2}$

The width is 10 cm and the length is 12 cm.

$d=\sqrt{10^2 + 12^2}$

$d \approx 15.62$

The diagonal of the rectangle inscribed in the circle is 15.62 cm.

The diameter of the circle is 15.62 cm.

Find the area of the whole circle.

$A=\pi r^2$

The $r$ is the radius of the circle, to find radius from diameter we can divide the value by 2.

$r = \frac{d}{2}$

$r=\frac{15.62}{2}$

$r=7.81$

Let’s find the area now.

$A=\pi (7.81)^2$

$A \approx 191.625$

Find the area of rectangle.

$A=lw$

Length × Width.

$A = 12 \times 10$

$A=120$

Subtract the area of the whole circle with the area of rectangle to find area of shaded part.

$191.625-120$

$71.625 \approx 71.63$
