a) The area of the shaded region is 50π.
b)
![(Area of the shaded region)/(area of square) = (\pi)/(8) .](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/3ws0jn3m3r88nnlnx8ka8o4fn6aqtn3tns.png)
Explanation:
Step 1:
The area of a circle
![= \pi r^(2).](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/ndnmajmefkcrz445h4n9crkjhujxyr9ylb.png)
The area of a semi-circle
![= (\pi r^(2) )/(2) .](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/x1d53idxy5lirbk3omuk2524og0diyv4uz.png)
The area of a quarter-circle
![= (\pi r^(2) )/(4) .](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/li0haazf68ubwmsemrvztpl16h6ux2hv8w.png)
The shaded region's area is obtained by subtracting the area of the semi-circle with a radius of 10 cm from the area of a quarter-circle with a radius of 20 cm.
The area of the semi-circle with a radius of 10 cm
![= (\pi (10^(2)) )/(2) .](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/kn6k7zt285wj70oab7gps2bjo3jtlchjm0.png)
The area of the quarter-circle with a radius of 20 cm
![= (\pi (20^(2)) )/(4) .](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/pecxchj77vm6291pdyzp2khlqgk5pqhlic.png)
Step 2:
The area of the shaded region is obtained by subtracting these areas.
The area of the shaded region
![= (\pi (20^(2)) )/(4) - (\pi (10^(2)) )/(2) .](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/hzylfen2m8rpyio4wx14vrtae79xnsvrqm.png)
![(\pi (20^(2)) )/(4) - (\pi (10^(2)) )/(2) = (\pi)/(2) ((20^(2) )/(2) -10^(2) ).](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/eze6ht9rwxljcpj9ib3gbxrrbnyztsb3xv.png)
![(\pi)/(2) ((20^(2) )/(2) -10^(2) ) = (\pi)/(2) ((400)/(2) -100 ) = (\pi)/(2) (100).](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/u9698dk7om33xxby5x4ey9cfna7gn6c22x.png)
![(\pi)/(2) (100) = 50 \pi.](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/bqwrusek0dczpd1x7zx7owdrjk0iyu5xz1.png)
The area of the shaded region is 50π square units.
Step 3:
The area of a square is the square of the side length.
The area of the square
square cm.
b)
![(Area of the shaded region)/(area of square) =(50\pi)/(400) =(\pi)/(8) .](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/n2j7uosmznnq4h9yo3b3jp9rfn63yhq6is.png)
