Math Problem Statement
Beräkna omkrets och area
Solution
Let's calculate the omkrets (perimeter) and area for both shapes shown in the image.
a) Half-circle (radius = 6 cm)
-
Perimeter (Omkrets): The perimeter of a half-circle is calculated as the sum of the curved part of the circle and the diameter.
- The curved part is half of the circumference of a full circle, which is , where .
- Therefore, the perimeter (O) for a half-circle is: Plugging in cm:
-
Area (A): The area of a half-circle is half of the area of a full circle, which is . Therefore: Plugging in cm:
b) Quarter-circle (radius = 3.3 cm)
-
Perimeter (Omkrets): The perimeter of a quarter-circle is the sum of the curved part (one-fourth of the circumference of a full circle) and the two straight sides (the radius). Plugging in cm:
-
Area (A): The area of a quarter-circle is one-fourth of the area of a full circle: Plugging in cm:
Let me know if you'd like further details on any part of the calculation or have any questions!
Here are 5 questions for further practice:
- What would the perimeter of a full circle with radius 6 cm be?
- How do you find the area of a full circle?
- If the radius of the half-circle were doubled, what would the new perimeter be?
- What is the relation between the radius and the area of a circle?
- Can you calculate the area of a sector with a 60-degree central angle and radius 5 cm?
Tip: Always double-check units to ensure that your final answers are in the correct form, especially for area and perimeter (square units for area, regular units for perimeter).
