PSLE OGHJK is part of a circle of radius 5 cm. OGJ and OHK are quarter circles. The area of the shaded part OHJ is 25 cm
2 and the perimeter of the shaded part OHJ is 15 cm. For each of the following, use the calculator value of π to find:
- the area of the figure OGHJK, correct to 1 decimal place,
- the perimeter of the figure OGHJK, correct to 1 decimal place.
(a)
Area of the quarter circle
=
14 x π x 5 x 5
= 6.25π cm
2 Area of sector OJK
= 6.25π - 25
Area of figure OGHJK
= 6.25π + 6.25π - 25
= 12.5π - 25
≈ 14.3 cm
2 (Correct to 1 decimal place)
(b)
Length of arc HJ
= 15 - 5 - 5
= 5 cm
Length of the arc of the quarter circle
=
14 x 2 x π x 5
= 2.5π cm
Length of arc JK
= (2.5π - 5) cm
Perimeter of the figure OGHJK
= 2.5π + 2.5π - 5 + 5 + 5
= 5π + 5
≈ 20.7 cm (Correct to 1 decimal place)
Answer(s): (a) 14.3 cm
2; (b) 20.7 cm
