Composite Area and Perimeter of a Playground Design

Secondary 1

The diagram below shows the design of a playground. The design is formed by an un-shaded semi-circle with diameter \(DE=8\) m enclosed within a trapezium \(ABCD\). It is given that \(AF=6\) m, \(BC=12\) m and \(CD=5\) m.

Using \(\pi \) as \(\frac{22}{7}\), find the

  1. area of the shaded region.
  2. perimeter of the shaded region, given that the length of \(AB\) is \(7.8\) m.
