Area of isosceles triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}*a^2 \) and \(2*a^2 = (2r)^2 = 4r^2 \)so, \(\frac{a^2}{2} = r^2\)

Area of shaded region = \(\frac{1}{2}*a^2 \) + Pie*\(r^2\) = Pie +2

Or, \(r^2 (1+ Pie/2) \)= pie +2 Or, r = \(\sqrt{2}\)

IMO C.

In the figure, AB = BC and the area of the shaded region is \(π + 2\) square meters. What is the radius of the circle in meters?


A. \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)

B. 1

C. \(\sqrt{2}\)

D. 2

E. 4

Join AC to form the diameter of the circle. = 2r
Drop a line from B on AC to form the radius = r
Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 * r * 2r =
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 2r *r
Area of the semicircle = \(\frac{π r^2}{2}\)
Area of shaded region = Area of triangle ABC + Area of semicircle
\(\frac{π r^2}{2}\) + 1/2 * 2r *r = π + 2
\(r = \sqrt{2}\), (C) IMO!
