A rectangle is placed around a semicircle as shown below. The length of the rectangle is 6m. Find the area of the shaded region.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
rectangle = 6ft
2) length of the rectangle = 2*radius of the semicircle = 12 ft
3) Area of the shaded region = area of the rectangle - area of the semicircle
Solution
area of the rectangle = width * length = 6 ft * 12 ft = 72 ft^2
area of the semicircle = [1/2]*π*(r^2) = [1/2]*3.14*(6ft)^2 = 56.52 ft^2
area of the shaded region = 72 ft^2 - 56.52 ft^2 = 15.48ft^2
Answer: 15.48 ft^2
I hope it helps you

As the figure is missing, I will do the most logical assumptions and explain the way to solve the problem.
Assumptions:
1) radius of the semicircle = width of the rectangle = 6ft
2) length of the rectangle = 2*radius of the semicircle = 12 ft
3) Area of the shaded region = area of the rectangle - area of the semicircle
Solution
area of the rectangle = width * length = 6 ft * 12 ft = 72 ft^2
area of the semicircle = [1/2]*π*(r^2) = [1/2]*3.14*(6ft)^2 = 56.52 ft^2
area of the shaded region = 72 ft^2 - 56.52 ft^2 = 15.48ft^2
Answer: 15.48 ft^2
