Answer
Let r be the radius of the given circle.
Let l and b be the length and breadth of the rectangle.
l = r + 2r = 3r
b = 2r
Area of rectangle = l x b
= 3r x 2r
= 6r2
Area of shaded portion = Area of circle + Area of semicircle
= πr2 + πr2
= πr2
= r2
= r2
= r2
Area of the unshaded portion = Area of rectangle - Area of shaded portion
= 6r2 - r2
= r2 - r2
= r2
The ratio between the area of the shaded and the unshaded portions
Hence, the ratio between the area of the shaded and the unshaded portions = 11:3.
