The diagram shows a semi circle inside a rectangle of length 150 m. The semi circle touches the rectangle at a b and c. Calculate the perimeter of the shaded region.

Answer:
Perimeter of the shaded region is 268 m
Step-by-step explanation:
In this diagram a semi circle is drawn inside a rectangle of length 150m.
Length of diameter of a semicircle = 150 m
So radius of the semicircle = [tex]\frac{150}{2}=75 m[/tex]
We have to find the perimeter of the shaded region.
Perimeter of the shaded region = length of tangents drawn on the circle at A and B + m(arc AB)
Length of tangents = radius of the semi circle = 75 m
and m(arc AB) = [tex]\frac{\text{Perimeter of the circle}}{4}=\frac{2\pi r}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2\pi (75)}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2(3.14)(75)}{4}[/tex]\
= [tex]\frac{471}{4}[/tex]
= 117.75 m
Now Perimeter of the shaded region = 75 + 75 + 117.75
P = 267.75 ≈ 268 m
Given the image showing a rectangle that is 150 cm long with a semicircle inside of it, the perimeter of the shaded region is: 267.8 m
Recall:
Perimeter of a circle = [tex]2 \pi r[/tex]
Thus, given the semicircle in the diagram below, where:
Length of rectangle = 150 m
Radius of semi circle = half of 150 m = 75 m
Thus,
The width of the circle = 75 m
The shaded region is bounded by the circumference of a quarter circle (AB) and two sides measuring 75 m each.
Perimeter of Quarter circle = [tex]\frac{1}{4} \times 2 \pi r[/tex]
Perimeter of Quarter circle = [tex]\frac{1}{4} \times 2 \times \pi \times 75 = 117.8 m[/tex]
Perimeter of the shaded region = 117 + 75 + 75 = 267.8 m
