Question 8
On a rectangular metal sheet of area 135 sq in, a circle is painted such that the circle touches two opposite sides. If the area of the sheet left unpainted is two-thirds of the painted area then the perimeter of the rectangle in inches is
Solution
Let ABCD be the rectangle with length 2l and breadth 2b respectively.
Area of the circle i.e. area of painted region = $$\pi\ b^2$$.
Given, 4lb-$$\pi\ b^2$$=(2/3)$$\pi\ b^2$$.
=> 4lb=(5/3)$$\pi\ b^2$$.
=>l=$$\frac{5\pi}{12}b$$.
Given, 4lb=135 => 4*$$\frac{5\pi}{12}b^2$$=135 => b= $$\frac{9}{\sqrt{\ \pi\ }}$$
=> l=$$\frac{15}{4}\sqrt{\ \pi\ }$$
Perimeter of rectangle =4(l+b)=4($$\frac{15}{4}\sqrt{\ \pi\ }$$+$$\frac{9}{\sqrt{\ \pi\ }}$$ )=$$3\sqrt{\pi}(5+\frac{12}{\pi})$$.
Hence option A is correct.
