PS is diameter of a circle of diameter 21 cm. In the diameter PS, Q and R are points such that PQ, QR, RS are all equal. Semi-circles are drawn on PQ and QS as diameter. What is the perimeter of shaded region?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
PQ = 7 cm
QS = 14 cm
⇒ perimeter of region with diameter PQ = \(\pi \)r = \(\pi \) \(\frac{PQ}{2}\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) = 11 cm
⇒ perimeter of region with diameter QS = \(\pi \)r" = \(\pi \) \(\frac{QS}{2}\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{14}{2}\) = 22 cm
⇒ perimeter of region with diameter PS = \(\pi \)r' = \(\pi \) \(\frac{PS}{2}\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{21}{2}\) = 33 cm
Total Perimeter = 11 + 22 + 33 = 66 cm
