Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.
Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:
It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.
From the question, we have the following ratio:
I did not add ± because length is always positive, so the case of negative is eliminated.
Now the areas of S is
Therefore, the total area of the shaded squares is
Check the picture below.
a)
so the perimeter will include "part" of the circumference of the green circle, and it will include "part" of the red encircled section, plus the endpoints where the pathway ends.
the endpoints, are just 2 meters long, as you can see 2+15+2 is 19, or the radius of the "outer radius".
let's find the circumference of the green circle, and then subtract the arc of that sector that's not part of the perimeter.
and then let's get the circumference of the red encircled section, and also subtract the arc of that sector, and then we add the endpoints and that's the perimeter.
b)
we do about the same here as well, we get the full area of the red encircled area, and then subtract the sector with 135°, and then subtract the sector of the green circle that is 360° - 135°, or 225°, the part that wasn't included in the previous subtraction.
