1. What is the area of the largest
rectangle that can be inscribed in a
circle whose area is 36 pi cm2
Area of a circle

4. A cross section of a concrete tunnel shows
a circle inside a figure that consists of a
semicircle on a rectangle. Find the area of the
cross section.
• Area of cross section
𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑙𝑢𝑠 𝐴 = 𝜋 𝑅2 − 𝑟 2 = 𝜋 502 − 202
𝐴 = 2100𝜋
Area= Rectangle – Inner Circle + (Annulus)
Area = (70*100) – ½ (𝜋(502 ))+ (2100𝜋)
Area = 9670.35
