[2]
(b) Find the perimeter of the shaded region.
[3]
(c) Find the area of the shaded region.

解答
(a)
解法一

角 EAF 是正方形的直角去掉两侧的两个相等小角。每个小角都能由直角三角形的正切求得。

Since BE=DF=4, the two right triangles ABE and ADF are congruent. The angle at A in each is tan−1(4/12). Hence
∠EAF==2π−2tan−1(31)0.927295…=0.9273
radians to four significant figures.

也可以先求弦 EF。从圆心向弦作垂线,就能用半弦与半径求半个圆心角。

The chord EF is the hypotenuse of the right triangle ECF, with EC=FC=8. Thus EF=82. The radius is AE=122+42=410. If ϕ=∠EAF, bisecting the chord gives
sin2ϕ=41042=51.
Hence ϕ=2sin−1(1/5)=0.9273 radians to four significant figures.
