In the pictures below, find the difference between the areas of the circle and the polygon, up to two decimal places. |
|
Answer» i. Radius of the small circle = 2 cm Area = π × 22 = 3.14 × 4 = 12.56 cm2 Daigonal of the square = 4 cm One side of the square = 4/√2 cm Area of the square = \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{16}{2}=8 \,cm\) Differences between the areas = 12.56 – 8 = 4.56 cm ii. Radius of the circle = 2 cm Area= π × 22 = 3.14 × 4 = 12.56 cm2 One side of the regular hexagon = 2 cm Area of the regular hexagon = \(6\times\frac{\sqrt{3}\times2^2}{4}=6\sqrt{3}\) = 6 × 1.73 = 10.38 cm2 Differences between the areas = 12.56 – 10.38 = 2.18 cm2 |
