Segments and composite figures worksheet: Answers and working
Part A: Working out and filling in
1. 200.52 cm²
Square 144; the semicircle's radius is 6: 12 × 3.14 × 62 = 56.52; 200.52 cm² in all.
2. 4, 8
Sector 90360 × π × 42 = 4π; triangle 4 × 4 ÷ 2 = 8; segment = (4π − 8) cm².
3. 48.375 cm²
Shaded = square − quarter circle = 225 − 14 × 3.14 × 152 = 225 − 176.625 = 48.375 cm².
4. 139.25 cm²
Square 100; the semicircle's radius is 5: 12 × 3.14 × 52 = 39.25; 139.25 cm² in all.
5. 82.08 cm²
The leaf is two segments, each a quarter circle 113.04 − a triangle 72: 2 × (113.04 − 72) = 82.08 cm². Or two quarter circles − the square: 2 × 113.04 − 144.
6. 100.54 cm
Three straight sides 3 × 22 = 66, plus the semicircle's arc 3.14 × 11 = 34.54 (the side cut away is no longer on the edge): 100.54 cm.
7. 64 π cm²
Big sector − small sector = 120360 × π(192 − 132) = 64π cm².
8. 15 π cm²
Big sector − small sector = 45360 × π(172 − 132) = 15π cm².
9. 137.1 cm
Three straight sides 3 × 30 = 90, plus the semicircle's arc 3.14 × 15 = 47.1 (the side cut away is no longer on the edge): 137.1 cm.
10. 2.28 cm²
The leaf is two segments, each a quarter circle 3.14 − a triangle 2: 2 × (3.14 − 2) = 2.28 cm². Or two quarter circles − the square: 2 × 3.14 − 4.
11. 4, 20
Two arcs: 45360 × 2π × (13 + 3) = 4π; two straight sides of 13 − 3 each, 20 together.
12. 55.9 cm²
The sector 14 × π × 142 less the triangle 98, rounded at the end: about 55.9 cm².
Part B: Word problems
Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.
13. B → A → C
Segment = sector − triangle = 78.5 − 50 = 28.5 cm².
14. 930, 2920.2
135360 × π(512 − 112) = 930π; × 3.14 = 2920.2 cm².
15. 4228 cm²
Rectangle 40 × 90 = 3600; the semicircle's radius is 20: 12 × 3.14 × 202 = 628; 4228 cm² in all.
16. 446.88, 31281.6
Leaf = 2 × (14 × 3.14 × 282 − 282 ÷ 2) = 0.57 × 282 = 446.88; × 70 = 31281.6 cm².
17. 82.08, 2462.4
Leaf = 2 × (14 × 3.14 × 122 − 122 ÷ 2) = 0.57 × 122 = 82.08; × 30 = 2462.4 cm².
18. B → A → C
Segment = sector − triangle = 113.04 − 72 = 41.04 cm².
