ABC is a right-angled triangle with right angle at B. If the semi-circle on AB with AB as diameter encloses an area of 81 sq.cm and semi-circle on BC with BC as diameter encloses an area of 36 sq.cm then the area of the semi-circle on AC with AC as diameter will be
Answers
- ABC is a right-angled triangle with right angle at B.
- If the semi-circle on AB with AB as diameter encloses an area of 81 sq.cm.
- Semi-circle on BC with BC as diameter encloses an area of 36 sq.cm then the area of the semi-circle on AC with AC.

Given:
A right-angled triangle ABC.
Area of semi-circle AB = 81 sq.cm
Area of semi-circle BC = 36 sq.cm
To find:
Area of semi-circle AC.
Solution:
ABC is a right triangle with right angle at B. Hence, by Pythagoras theorem,
Let semicircle AB be , semicircle BC be and semicircle AC be .
Let the diameters of be respectively.
Area of a semi-circle is given by:
where is the area and is the radius of the semi-circle.
Let be the areas of semicircles respectively.
Here, areas of semicircles and are given as and .
where is the radius of semicircle AB and is given by and
where is the radius of semicircle BC and is given by and
Here, area of semicircle AC is unknown. Its diameter is AC, i.e., and
From equation (1),
From equations (2) and (3),
Taking common from the brackets,
∴ Area of semicircle on AC is with AC as diameter.
Area of semicircle on AC is with AC as diameter.
