Please help with this question

  a) 50π cm^2

  b) π/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The formula for the area of a semicircle is ...

  A = (1/2)πr^2 = (1/2)π(d/2)^2 = (π/8)d^2

For a diameter of 20 cm, the area is ...

  A = (π/8)(20 cm)^2 = 50π cm^2 . . . . . the area of the semicircle

__

The formula for the area of a quarter circle is ...

  A = (1/4)πr^2

For a radius of 20 cm, the area is ...

  A = (π/4)(20 cm)^2 = 100π cm^2 . . . . . the area of the quarter circle

__

The shaded area is the difference of the areas of the quarter circle and semicircle:

  shaded area = (100π cm^2) -(50π cm^2)

  shaded area = 50π cm^2

__

b) The ratio of the shaded area to the square area is ...

  shaded area / square area = (50π cm^2)/(20 cm)^2 = π/8

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
