Problem
A decorative window is made up of a rectangle with semicircles at either end. The ratio of to
is
. And
is 30 inches. What is the ratio of the area of the rectangle to the combined area of the semicircles?
Solution
We can set a proportion:
We substitute with 30 and solve for
.
We calculate the combined area of semicircle by putting together semicircle and
to get a circle with radius
. Thus, the area is
. The area of the rectangle is
. We calculate the ratio:
Note that we could have solved this without the measurement of inches.
