PQRS is a rectangle inscribed in a quadrant of a circle of radius 13 cm. A is any point on PQ. If PS = 5 cm, then find
Given that,
PQRS is a rectangle
PS = 5 cm
PR = 13 cm
In triangle PSR, by using Pythagoras theorem
SR2 = PR2 – PS2
SR2 = (13)2 – (5)2
SR2 = 169 – 25
SR2 = 114
SR = 12 cm
We have to find the area ,
Area ( =
* Base * Height
= * SR * PS
= * 12 * 5
= 30 cm2
Hence, Area ( is 30 cm2
