The following shape is based only on squares, semicircles, and quarter circles. Find the area of the shaded part.

The area of the shaded part is 36.53 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the side of the square ABCD = 8 cm

The shaded part is seen to be the area of intersection of two quarter circles

The dimension of the radius of the quarter circles = The side length of the square

Therefore;

The dimension of the radius of the quarter circles = 8 cm

The figure can be taken as being formed by the two quarter circles with a square removed

The shaded area is the

Therefore, the area of the shaded part Sₐ, is given by the relation;

Sₐ = Area of first quarter circle + Area of second quarter circle - Area of the square

Given that the dimensions (radius) of the two quarter circles are the same, we have;

Area of first quarter circle = Area of second quarter circle = (π × 8²)/4 cm²

Area of the square = (Side length of the square)² = 8² = 64 cm²

Sₐ =  (π × 8^2)/4 + (π × 8^2)/4 - 64 = 36.53 cm²

The area of the shaded part = 36.53 cm².

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
