A semi-circle window can be used above a doorway or as an accent window
in a room to allow more light in large rooms. The semi-circle window in your
home theater room lets too much light in so that the movie experience is not
optimal at any time of the day.
You research and find there are “room darkening” blinds and shades for
semi-circle windows. You can’t quite reach the semi-circle window to
measure but you are able to measure the window beneath. The height of the
rectangle window below is 85 in and the width of the window below the semi-circle is 50 in.
What is the area of the semi-circle window so that you can start your search for the correct size?
Be sure to show and explain your work.

Sagot :

A semicircle is a part of a circle, and it is referred to as half of a given circle. Thud the area of the semi-circle window is 982 [tex]in^{2}[/tex].

A circle is a shape that is bounded by a curved path which is referred to as the circumference. Some parts of a circle are radius, diameter, sector, arc, semi-circle, circumference, etc.

A semicircle is a part of a circle, and it is referred to as half of a given circle.

such that:

Area of a circle = [tex]\pi[/tex] [tex]r^{2}[/tex]

and

area of a semicircle = [tex]\frac{\pi r^{2} }{2}[/tex]

where: r is the radius of the circle, and [tex]\pi[/tex] is a constant with a value of [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex].

Thus from the given question, it can be inferred that;

r = [tex]\frac{50}{2}[/tex]

 = 25

r = 25 in

Thus, the area of the semi-circle can be determined as;

area of the semi-circle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] * [tex]25^{2}[/tex]

                                      = 982.1429

area of the semi-circle = 982.14 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]

The area of the semi-circle window is approximately 982 [tex]in^{2}[/tex].
