Question 3
Q3) The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semi circular 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].
Solution 3:
We know that,
length of the garden=20 m
diameter of semicircle=7m,r=3.5m
(breadth of the rectangle)
Length of rectangle=20m-3.5m-3.5m20m−3.5m−3.5m
=13 m
Area of rectangle=length\times breadthlength×breadth
=13m\times7m=13m×7m
=91\ m^2=91 m
