a. Two regular polygons P and Q are such that the number of sides of P is twice the number of sides of Q. The difference between the exterior angle of P and Q is 45°.find the number of sides of p.

b. The area of a semi-circle is 32π \(cm^2\). Find, in terms of π, the circumference of the semi-circle.

Explanation

a. Let the number of sides of polygon Q be x 

therefore, No. of sides of polygon P = 2x

then, \(\frac{360}{x} - \frac{360}{2x}\) =  45,

\(\frac{360}{x} - \frac{180}{x}\) = 45 

 L. C. M = x

360 - 180 = 45x

x = \(\frac{180}{4}\) = 4

therefore, the number of P polygon = 2x = 2 x 4 = 8

b. Area of semi-circle = \(\frac{\pi r^2}{2}\)

but Area of the semi-circle = 32π

\(\frac{\pi r^2}{2}\) = 32π

\(r^2 = 32\times2 = 64\)

\(r^2 = \sqrt{64}\) = 8cm.

Circumference of semi-circle = πr  + 2r

                                                 = π(8) + 2(8) 

                                                  = 8π + 16

                                                  = 8(π + 2 ) cm
