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 + 12\dfrac{1}{2}πr2

= 32\dfrac{3}{2} πr2

= 32×227\dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{22}{7} r2

= 6614\dfrac{66}{14} r2

= 337\dfrac{33}{7} r2

Area of the unshaded portion = Area of rectangle - Area of shaded portion

= 6r2 - 337\dfrac{33}{7} r2

= 427\dfrac{42}{7} r2 - 337\dfrac{33}{7} r2

= 97\dfrac{9}{7} r2

The ratio between the area of the shaded and the unshaded portions

=337r297r2=33797=339=113= \dfrac{\dfrac{33}{7}r^2}{\dfrac{9}{7}r^2}\\[1em] = \dfrac{\dfrac{33}{7}}{\dfrac{9}{7}}\\[1em] = \dfrac{33}{9}\\[1em] = \dfrac{11}{3}

Hence, the ratio between the area of the shaded and the unshaded portions = 11:3.
