Answer:
21cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of Square-Area of semi circles (makes one full circle)
Squares Area = 100
LxW or (10x10)=100
Circle Area = 25/pi
/pi (radius)^2 or /pi(5)^2 = 25/pi
100cm^2-25cm^2 = 21.4601…cm^2 rounded to 21.5 cm^2
The area of the shaded region is 21.5 cm²
'In geometry, a semicircle is a plane figure that is formed by dividing a circle into exactly two parts.'
According to the given problem,
Side length of the square = 10
Area of the square = ( 10 × 10 )
= 100 cm²
Now, for the semi-circle,
Diameter = 10 cm
Radius = [tex](\frac{10}{2}[/tex][tex])[/tex] cm
= 5 cm
Area of the semicircle = [tex]\frac{\pi r^{2} }{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\pi * 5^{2} }{2}[/tex]
Since, there are two semicircles in the square, we multiply the area with 2,
⇒ [tex]\frac{\pi *5^{2} }{2}*2[/tex]
= 25[tex]\pi[/tex]
Area of the shaded region = ( 100 - 25π )
= ( 100 - 78.53 )
= 21.46
≈ 21.5 cm²
Hence, we can conclude, the area of the shaded region is 21.5 cm².
