Question

The perimeter of the square is 64 inches. What is the perimeter of the shaded region?

Answer 1

Answer:

54.94 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the radius of the semi-circles within the square.

You find this by dividing the perimeter by 8

64/8 = 8

now use the formula πr^2 to find the area of the semi circle

π8^2 = 201.06

Now find the total area of the square and subtract it from the area of the two semi circles to find the shaded region

16*16 = 256

256-201.06 = 54.94
