Answer:
A = (81 - 20.25π)cm²
P = (18 + 9π)cm
Explanation:
Since the answer asks for the exact value, we will keep π as itself to ensure there is no rounding off errors.
Firstly, finding the area A.
> Putting both semicircles together, you will get a full circle. Hence, finding the area only requires you to subtract the circle off the square.
>Also, the radius of the circle is
.
Thus,
![A=9^(2) -(\pi *4.5^(2) )\\A= 9^(2)-20.25\pi\\A= (81-20.25\pi)cm^(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/t58cj1to1ea994f9p0f1giue2lcytqzxg7.png)
Next, finding the perimeter B.
>Again, combining both arcs of the shaded figure together, we form a circumference of the circle.
Thus,
![P = 2(9) + (2*\pi *4.5)\\=(18+9\pi )cm](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/zn48qxrubi05lrfdzg86hjbkwsda33ocrw.png)
