What is the area of the shaded region?
Consider the following for the next three (03) items that follow: Consider two identical semicircles and one circle inscribed in a rectangle of length 10 cm as shown in the figure given below. (Take \pi=3.14 and \sqrt{2}=1.4).
- A. 14.75 square cm
- B. 14.25 square cm
- C. 7.225 square cm ✓
- D. 7.625 square cm
Correct Answer: C. 7.225 square cm
Explanation
Based on the geometric configuration of the embedded circle and semicircles within the rectangle, subtracting the respective unshaded sections yields the specific fractional area corresponding to 7.225 square cm in the options provided.
