Answer:

Hence amount of Alana's donation is $4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of Alana's donation = x

Her grandmother agreed to add $4.00 to the amount Alana earned.

So new amount of money = (x+4)

She gives only half of the sum which is (x+4)/2.

She gave her $4.25 so both values must be equal.

$\frac{\left(x+4\right)}{2}=4.25$

$x+4=4.25*2$

$x+4=8.5$

$x=8.5-4$

$x=4.5$

Hence amount of Alana's donation is $4.5.

See below for the proof that the areas of the lune and the isosceles triangle are equal

<h3>How to prove the areas?</h3>

The area of the isosceles triangle is:

$A_1 = \frac 12r^2\sin(\theta)$

Where r represents the radius.

From the figure, we have:

$\theta = 90$

So, the equation becomes

$A_1 = \frac 12r^2\sin(90)$

Evaluate

$A_1 = \frac 12r^2$

Next, we calculate the length (L) of the chord as follows:

$\sin(45) = \frac{\frac 12L}{r}$

Multiply both sides by r

$r\sin(45) = \frac 12L$

Multiply by 2

$L = 2r\sin(45)$

This gives

$L = 2r\times \frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$

$L = r\sqrt 2$

The area of the semicircle is then calculated as:

$A_2 = \frac 12 \pi (\frac{L}{2})^2$

This gives

$A_2 = \frac 12 \pi (\frac{r\sqrt 2}{2})^2$

Evaluate the square

$A_2 = \frac 12 \pi (\frac{2r^2}{4})$

Divide

$A_2 = \frac{\pi r^2}{4}$

Next, calculate the area of the chord using

$A_3 = \frac 12r^2(\theta - \sin(\theta))$

Recall that:

$\theta = 90$

Convert to radians

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$

So, we have:

$A_3 = \frac 12r^2(\frac{\pi}{2} - \sin(\frac{\pi}{2}))$

This gives

$A_3 = \frac 12r^2(\frac{\pi}{2} - 1)$

The area of the lune is then calculated as:

$A = A_2 - A_3$

This gives

$A = \frac{\pi r^2}{4} - \frac 12r^2(\frac{\pi}{2} - 1)$

Expand

$A = \frac{\pi r^2}{4} - \frac{\pi r^2}{4} + \frac 12r^2$

Evaluate the difference

$A = \frac 12r^2$

Recall that the area of the isosceles triangle is

$A_1 = \frac 12r^2$

By comparison, we have:

$A = A_1 = \frac 12r^2$

This means that the areas of the lune and the isosceles triangle are equal
