Square
FGHJ has sides of length x. Region
FGJ is a sector of the circle with center
F.
Quantity A |
Quantity B |
The area of the shaded region |
x24 |
Area of shaded region = (area of square FGHJ) - (area of sector FGJ)(area of square FGHJSince each side of the square has length x, the area =
x2area of sector FGJArea of sector =
(n360)(π)(radius2), where
n= the central angle
Since FGHJ is a square, we know that the central angle (angle GFJ)
= 90°We also know that the radius
= x So, the area of sector FGJ
= (\frac{90}{360})(\pi)(x^2)= (\frac{1}{4})(\pi)(x^2)= \frac{\pi x^2}{4}Area of shaded region = x^2 - \frac{\pi x^2}{4}=
\frac{4x^2}{4} - \frac{\pi x^2}{4}=
\frac{4x^2 - \pi x^2}{4}We get:
Quantity A:
\frac{4x^2 - \pi x^2}{4}Quantity B:
\frac{x^2}{4}Multiply both quantities by
4 to get:
Quantity A:
4x^2 - \pi x^2Quantity B:
x^2Divide book quantities by
x^2 to get:
Quantity A:
4 - \pi Quantity B:
1In other words we have:
Quantity A:
4 - 3.14 = 0.86 Quantity B:
