Problem
Figure 3 shows the plan view of the area being used for a ball-throwing competition.
Figure 3
Competitors must stand within the circle C and throw a ball as far as possible into the target area, PQRS, shown shaded in Figure 3.
Given that
- circle C has centre O
- P and S are points on C
- OPQRSO is a sector of a circle with centre O
- the length of arc PS is 0.72 m
- the size of angle POS is 0.6 radians
(a) show that OP=1.2 m.
(1)
Given also that
- the target area, PQRS, is 90 m2
- length PQ=x metres
(b) show that
5x2+12x−1500=0.
(3)
(c) Hence calculate the total perimeter of the target area, PQRS, giving your answer to the nearest metre.

弧长公式是 s=rθ。这里弧 PS 的长度是 0.72,圆心角是 0.6 radians,所以半径就是 OP。

Using s=rθ,
0.72=OP==OP(0.6)0.60.721.2.
Therefore
OP=1.2 m.

目标区域 PQRS 是大扇形减去小扇形。小半径是 1.2,而 PQ=x,所以大半径是 x+1.2。

The radius of the larger sector is
x+1.2.
The target area is the larger sector minus the smaller sector:
21(x+1.2)2(0.6)−21(1.2)2(0.6)=90.
Since 21(0.6)=0.3,
0.3((x+1.2)2−1.22)=0.3(x2+2.4x+1.44−1.44)=0.3x2+0.72x=909090.
Multiply by 50:
15x2+36x=5x2+12x−1500=45000.

先解 (b) 的二次方程,取正根作为长度 x。周长由两条直边 PQ、RS,内弧 PS,以及外弧 QR 组成。外弧半径是 x+1.2,角度仍是 0.6。

Solve
5x2+12x−1500=0.
Using the quadratic formula,
x====2(5)−12±122−4(5)(−1500)10−12±301445−6±218845−6±4471.
Since x is a length,
x=5−6+4471=16.159….
The outer arc QR has length
(x+1.2)(0.6).
So the perimeter of PQRS is
2x+0.72+0.6(x+1.2)==2(16.159…)+0.72+0.6(17.359…)43.454….
Therefore the perimeter is
43 m
to the nearest metre.
