(a) 12π cm
(b) 16π cm
(c) 24π cm
(d) 32π cm
Ans: (c) 24π cm
Sol: Side of the square = √196 = 14 cm
Radius of the larger circle = 2 * 14 = 28 cm
Radius of the smaller circle = (3/7) * 28 = 12 cm
Circumference of the smaller circle = 2π * 12 = 24π cm - The perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of a rectangle of length 16 cm and breadth 14 cm. Find the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square. (Round off your answer to two decimal places).
(a) 23.57 cm
(b) 47.14 cm
(c) 84.92 cm
(d) 94.94 cm
Ans: (a) 23.57 cm
Solution:
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(16 + 14) = 60 cm
Perimeter of the square = 60 cm
Side of the square = 60 / 4 = 15 cm
Diameter of the semicircle = 15 cm
Circumference of the semicircle = (1/2)π * 15 + 15 = (1/2)(22/7) * 15 = 23.57 cm - If all cats are dogs and some dogs are birds, then which statement is true?
