A semicircular park requires 288 meters of iron fencing. Find the area of the park. (π = 22/7)
From: KRIDL Assistant Engineer 2023
Show answer
Answer: A. 4928 m²
The fencing runs along the curved edge and the diameter, so the perimeter of the semicircle is πr + 2r = r(π + 2). With π = 22/7 that is r × 36/7 = 288, giving r = 288 × 7 / 36 = 56 m. The area of a semicircle is πr²/2 = (22/7 × 56²) / 2 = (22 × 448) / 2 = 9856 / 2 = 4928 m². Note that 9856 m² is the area of the FULL circle — forgetting to halve it is the trap in this question.
