In the given figure, ABCD is a rectangle of dimensions $21\ cm \times 14\ cm$. A semicircle is drawn with BC as diameter. Find the area and the perimeter of the shaded region in the figure. "
Given: Dimensions of rectangle $ABCD=21\ cm$\times $14 cm\ $. Diameter of semi-circle$=BC$.
To do: To find the area and perimeter of the shaded region.
Solution:
$\because$ BC is the diameter of the drawn circle $=BC=14\ cm$
$\therefore$ radius of the semi-circle, $r=\frac{14}{2} =7\ cm$
Area of shaded region $=$ Area of rectangle$-$Area of semicircle
$=21\times 14-\ \frac{\pi r^{2}}{2}$
$=294-77$
$=217\ cm^{2}$
Perimeter of shaded region $=\ AB\ +\ AD\ +\ CD\ +\ length\ of\ arc\ BC$
$=21+14+21+\pi r\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ( \because length\ of\ the\ arc\ =perimeter\ of\ the\ semi\ circle\ with\ diameter\ BC)$
$=56+\frac{22}{7} \times 7$
$=56+22$
$=78\ cm$
Thus the area of the shaded region is $217\ cm^{2}$ and the perimeter of the shaded region is $78\ cm$.
