Why am I not getting the correct answer?

Postby Guest » Mon Jan 02, 2023 8:04 pm

Hello I am doing the following exercise.


Observe the following figure where [ABCD] is a square inscribed in a circle and circumscribed to another concentric circle with the first one.

Knowing that the area of the larger circle is 100 and that the area of the square [ABCD] is 200 , determine the exact value
of the area of the colored region.
Displays the requested value in square meters.

Solution: (150pi-200)m^2

My Teacher hasn't lectioned geometry in detail only going into it to solve this types of problems so I'm kind of lost. But what I've done(with a lot of help online )is:

given
A1=100m^2
A2=200m^2

Colored Area = Area( smallcircle +Area(largecircle - square)
area of square is:
(a)^2=200
a=10sqrt(2)
We know that

a = diameter of small circle

Area of small circle = pi/4*d^2=pi/4*200=50pi
so the colored area is= 50pi+(100-200)m^2

I checked with a classmate and his answer was 257m^2
none of these match the answer in the book and I do not have the propper knowledge on how should i go about solving this exercise to percieve if any of these asnwers make sense .
Can You help me solve this
Your time and attention are deeply appreciated
Thank You.

Did you manage to solve it?
You have to find the radius (diameter) of the small circle.
Then the answer is: 100 - the area of the square + the area of the small circle
The square side is equat to the small circle diameter.
