Square A is circumscribed about a circle by 100%. By how much is the area increased?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Choose a value for r and find the percentage increase in area:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "r = 5, then one side of the square = 10
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28pi%2A5%5E2%29%2F10%5E2\" = .78 = 78% increase in area
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b)A semi circle sits on top of a square. The perimeter of the figure is 36cm. Find the area of the figure.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let r = radius of the half circle
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( "2r = side of the square:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find r using the Perimeter:
\n" ); document.write( "3(2r) + .5(2*pi*r) = 36
\n" ); document.write( "6r + (pi*r) = 36
\n" ); document.write( "r(6+pi) = 36
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"36%2F%28%286%2Bpi%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 3.938
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Side = 2(3.938) = 7.876
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 7.376^2 + .5*pi*3.936^2
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 62.03 + 24.335
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 86.365 sq mm
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
