PSLE OUVWX is part of a circle of radius 5 cm. OUW and OVX are quarter circles. The area of the shaded part OVW is 30 cm
2 and the perimeter of the shaded part OVW is 20 cm. For each of the following, use the calculator value of π to find:
- the area of the figure OUVWX, correct to 1 decimal place,
- the perimeter of the figure OUVWX, 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 OWX
= 6.25π - 30
Area of figure OUVWX
= 6.25π + 6.25π - 30
= 12.5π - 30
≈ 9.3 cm
2 (Correct to 1 decimal place)
(b)
Length of arc VW
= 20 - 5 - 5
= 10 cm
Length of the arc of the quarter circle
=
14 x 2 x π x 5
= 2.5π cm
Length of arc WX
= (2.5π - 5) cm
Perimeter of the figure OUVWX
= 2.5π + 2.5π - 5 + 5 + 5
= 5π + 5
≈ 20.7 cm (Correct to 1 decimal place)
Answer(s): (a) 9.3 cm
2; (b) 20.7 cm
