3. The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semicircular
at the ends as shown in the diagram. Find the area and the perimeter
T of this garden (Length of rectangle is
7m 20-(35 +3.5) metres ).
Answers
Total area of the garden = Area of the rectangular portion + The sum of the areas of the pair of semi-circles
Perimeter of the garden =2× length of rectangular portion + circumference of the circle
The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semicircular at the ends as shown in the diagram. Find the area and the perimeter of this garden.
[Length of rectangle is 20 – (3.5 + 3.5) metres]
length of rectangle = 20 - (3.5+3.5)
= 20 - 7
= 13m
Area of rectangle = l × b
= 13 × 7
= 91
Area of two circular ends =
=
=
=
__________
Total area
= Area of rec. + area of two ends
= +
=
__________
Total perimeter
= perimeter of rec. + perimeter of two ends
=
=
=
