Beräkna omkrets och area

Beräkna omkrets och area för de två cirkelsegmenten.

Solution

Let's calculate the omkrets (perimeter) and area for both shapes shown in the image.

a) Half-circle (radius = 6 cm)

  1. 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 π×d\pi \times d, where d=2×rd = 2 \times r.
    • Therefore, the perimeter (O) for a half-circle is: O=12×2πr+2r=πr+2rO = \frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi r + 2r = \pi r + 2r Plugging in r=6r = 6 cm: O=π×6+2×6=18.84+12=30.84 cmO = \pi \times 6 + 2 \times 6 = 18.84 + 12 = 30.84 \text{ cm}
  2. Area (A): The area of a half-circle is half of the area of a full circle, which is πr2\pi r^2. Therefore: A=12×πr2A = \frac{1}{2} \times \pi r^2 Plugging in r=6r = 6 cm: A=12×π×62=12×113.1=56.55 cm2A = \frac{1}{2} \times \pi \times 6^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 113.1 = 56.55 \text{ cm}^2

b) Quarter-circle (radius = 3.3 cm)

  1. 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). O=14×2πr+2r=πr2+2rO = \frac{1}{4} \times 2\pi r + 2r = \frac{\pi r}{2} + 2r Plugging in r=3.3r = 3.3 cm: O=π×3.32+2×3.3=5.18+6.6=11.78 cmO = \frac{\pi \times 3.3}{2} + 2 \times 3.3 = 5.18 + 6.6 = 11.78 \text{ cm}

  2. Area (A): The area of a quarter-circle is one-fourth of the area of a full circle: A=14×πr2A = \frac{1}{4} \times \pi r^2 Plugging in r=3.3r = 3.3 cm: A=14×π×3.32=14×34.21=8.55 cm2A = \frac{1}{4} \times \pi \times 3.3^2 = \frac{1}{4} \times 34.21 = 8.55 \text{ cm}^2


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:

  1. What would the perimeter of a full circle with radius 6 cm be?
  2. How do you find the area of a full circle?
  3. If the radius of the half-circle were doubled, what would the new perimeter be?
  4. What is the relation between the radius and the area of a circle?
  5. 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).
