Question:

A rectangle of length ‘x’ and breadth ‘y’ is inscribed in a semi-circle of fixed radius ‘r’ as shown in the figure given below.

Based on the above information answer the following question:

Area A(θ), 0 < θ < \(\frac{π}{2}\)  of the rectangle ABCD, is

Options:

r2 sin θ

r2 sin2θ

r2 cos2θ

r2 cos θ

Correct Answer:

r2 sin2θ

Explanation:

$x = 2r\, cosθ$

$y = r\, sinθ$

Area(ABCD) = $2r^2cosθsinθ$

$=r^2sin2θ$

Option B is correct.
