In the figure, a semicircle with its diameter on thehypotenuse of a right angled triangle is showntouching the remaining sides of a triangle. Theparts of the hypotenuse made by the centre of thesemicircle have lengths 15 cm and 20 cmrespectively. Find the radius of the semicircle.(Construction : Join OD and OE)

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length shown in above diagram be T.

The power of circle T

2

=(15−R)(15+R)

From SIMILAR triangles (radius / hypotenuse) of right SIDE right angled

triangle =

R

T

=

20

15

=

4

3

SOLVING R=12 T=9

Arc length in quarter circle =

2

πR

=

2

π.12

=6π.
