Long Questions (Question 2)

Question 2:
Diagram below shows a semicircle PTQ, with centre O and quadrant of a circle RST, with centre R.

[Use π = 3.142]
Calculate
(a) the value of θ, in radians,
(b) the perimeter, in cm, of the whole diagram,
(c) the area, in cm², of the shaded region.

Solution:
$\begin{array}{l}\left(a\right)\\ \sin \angle ROT=\frac{2.5}{5}\\ \angle ROT={30}^o\\ \theta ={180}^o-{30}^o={150}^o\\ =150\times \frac{\pi }{180}\\ =2.618\text{ rad}\end{array}$


$\begin{array}{l}\left(b\right)\\ \text{Length of arc }PT=r\theta \\ =5\times 2.618\\ =13.09\text{ cm}\\ \text{Length of arc }ST=\frac{\pi }{2}\times 2.5\\ =3.9275\text{ cm}\\ \\ O{R}^2+{2.5}^2=5^2\\ O{R}^2=5^2-{2.5}^2\\ OR=4.330\\ \\ \text{Perimeter}=13.09+3.9275+2.5+4.330+5\\ =28.8475\text{ cm}\end{array}$


$\begin{array}{l}\left(c\right)\\ \text{Area of shaded region}\\ =\text{Area of quadrant }RST-\text{Area of quadrant }RQT\\ \\ \text{Area of quadrant }RQT\\ =\text{Area of }OQT-\text{Area of }OTR\\ =\frac{1}{2}{\left(5\right)}^2\times \left(30\times \frac{\pi }{180}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\left(4.33\right)\left(2.5\right)\\ =1.1333{\text{ cm}}^2\\ \\ \text{Area of shaded region}\\ =\text{Area of quadrant }RST-\text{Area of quadrant }RQT\\ =\frac{1}{2}{\left(2.5\right)}^2\times \left(90\times \frac{\pi }{180}\right)-1.1333\\ =3.7661{\text{ cm}}^2\end{array}$
