Examples with solutions for Circumference: Using additional geometric shapes

Exercise #1

Below is a circle bounded by a parallelogram:

36

All meeting points are tangential to the circle.
The circumference is 25.13.

What is the area of the parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we add letters as reference points:

Let's observe points A and B.

We know that two tangent lines to a circle that start from the same point are parallel to each other.

Therefore:

AE=AF=3 AE=AF=3
BG=BF=6 BG=BF=6

And from here we can calculate:

AB=AF+FB=3+6=9 AB=AF+FB=3+6=9

Now we need the height of the parallelogram.

We know that F is tangent to the circle, so the diameter that comes out of point F will also be the height of the parallelogram.

It is also known that the diameter is equal to two radii.

Since the circumference is 25.13.

Circumference formula:2πR 2\pi R
We replace and solve:

2πR=25.13 2\pi R=25.13
πR=12.565 \pi R=12.565
R4 R\approx4

The height of the parallelogram is equal to two radii, that is, 8.

And from here you can calculate with a parallelogram area formula:

Exercise #2

The area of the rectangle in the drawing is 28X cm².

What is the area of the circle?

S=28XS=28XS=28X777

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's draw the center of the circle and we can divide the diameter of the circle into two equal radii

Now let's calculate the length of the radii as follows:

7×2r=28x 7\times2r=28x

14r=28x 14r=28x

We'll divide both sides by 14:

r=2814x r=\frac{28}{14}x

r=2x r=2x

Let's calculate the circumference of the circle:

P=2π×r=2π×2x=4πx P=2\pi\times r=2\pi\times2x=4\pi x

Answer

4πx 4\pi x

Exercise #3

The following is a circle enclosed in a parallelogram:

36

All meeting points are tangent to the circle.
The circumference is 25.13.

What is the area of the zones marked in blue?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we add letters as reference points:

Let's observe points A and B.

We know that two tangent lines to a circle that start from the same point are parallel to each other.

Therefore:

AE=AF=3 AE=AF=3
BG=BF=6 BG=BF=6

From here we can calculate:

AB=AF+FB=3+6=9 AB=AF+FB=3+6=9

Now we need the height of the parallelogram.

We know that F is tangent to the circle, so the diameter that comes out of point F will also be the height of the parallelogram.

It is also known that the diameter is equal to two radii.

It is known that the circumference of the circle is 25.13.

Formula of the circumference:2πR 2\pi R
We replace and solve:

2πR=25.13 2\pi R=25.13
πR=12.565 \pi R=12.565
R4 R\approx4

The height of the parallelogram is equal to two radii, that is, 8.

And from here it is possible to calculate the area of the parallelogram:

Lado x Altura \text{Lado }x\text{ Altura} 9×872 9\times8\approx72

Now, we calculate the area of the circle according to the formula:πR2 \pi R^2

π42=50.26 \pi4^2=50.26

Now, subtract the area of the circle from the surface of the trapezoid to get the answer:

7256.2421.73 72-56.24\approx21.73

Answer

21.73 \approx21.73
