QR : PQ :: 5 : 12
=> Let QR = 5x and PQ = 12x, where x is a constant of proportionality.
We also know that QS = 13.
Thus, applying Pythagoras theorem in triangle SPQ, we have
PQ^2 + PS^2 = QS^2
=> PQ^2 + QR^2 = 13^2
=> (12x)^2 + (5x)^2 = 132
=> 144x^2 + 25x^2 = 169
=> x^2 = 1
=> x = 1 (x cannot be −1 since lengths must be positive)
=> QR = 5x = 5
=> Radius of the semi-circle =5/2
Thus, the area of the semi-circle\(=\frac{1}{2}× π ×(\frac{5}{2})^2
= 3.125π > 3π\)
