Question -

The shape of a garden isrectangular in the middle and semicircular 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]




Answer -

Given: Total length = 20 m

Diameter of semi circle = 7 m

Radius of semi circle = 7/2 = 3.5 m

Length of rectangular field

= 20-(3.5+3.5) = 20-7 = 13 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 7 m

Area of rectangular field = l×b

= 13×7= 91m2

Area of two semi circles = 2×(1/2)×π×r2

= 2×(1/2)×22/7×3.5×3.5

= 38.5 m2

Area of garden = 91+38.5 = 129.5 m2

Now Perimeter of two semi circles =  2πr = 2×(22/7)×3.5 = 22 m

And Perimeter of garden = 22+13+13

= 48 m. Answer
