( 2 r ) 2 = 4 r 2 because its width and height are both 2 r
The region on the left has an area of:
( 2 r ) ( 4 8 ) = 9 6 r
The sum of these must equal 100, so:
1 0 0 = 4 r 2 + 9 6 r
0 = 4 r 2 + 9 6 r − 1 0 0
0 = r 2 + 2 4 r − 2 5
0 = ( r + 2 5 ) ( r − 1 )
r cannot be -25, so it must be 1.
A = π r 2 = π ( 1 ) 2 = π
The answer is 1
