Question
In the figure shown, point O is the center of the circle. One vertex of the square lies on the circle, and the opposite vertex is point O. If the area of the shaded region is , what is the perimeter of the square?
- 24
- 72

The correct answer is:
HINT: Observe the figure and find out the perimeter.
Complete step by step Solution
Given that the area of shaded region is
Here it's clear that area of whole circle is and area of that square is .
From this, we can say that radius r = 6. [since area of circle is ]
Draw a diagonal in that square and it will be 6 units which is the actual radius of the circle.
The diagonal splits the square into 2 triangles and the diagonal acts as the hypotenuse.
Let sides of the square be x.
Since it is a square, all the angles are right angles.
By pythagoras theorem, we have
Then on simplification, we get .
We know that perimeter of a square is 4 times its side(here ).
So perimeter = .
We get perimeter to be .
Hence option C is the correct answer.

The frequency table above shows the distribution of the actual number of fluid ounces of water in a random sample of 8020 -ounce bottles of the water at a bottling plant. Bottles are only sold if they contain at least 19.8 but no more than 20.2 fluid ounces of water. If the proportion of bottles that can be sold is the same for the sample and the 16,000 20-ounce bottles produced at the plant each day, how many of the 16,000 bottles cannot be sold?
