Adult education due to the level -thanks - An arc ABC is one quarter of a circle with center B and radius 6. Rectangle EDFB is inscribed in ABC. If ED + DF = 8, find the perimeter ADCFE. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
I don't see how you can incribe a rectangle in 1/4 of a circle.
Please clarify
draw upper right of 1/4 of a circlewith (one quarter of a circle) 3 sides and it would have points at ABC going clock-wise. Starting clockwise, the curved side would be ADC, then a straight line of the bottom CFB, going up a straight line BEA. The rectangle, the tall way, EDFB. Inside the rectangle are 2 right triangles, EBF and FDE. B is the center and radius 6.
To find the perimeter of ADCFE, we need to determine the lengths of all the sides. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Start by considering the given information about the arc ABC. We know that arc ABC is one quarter of a circle with center B and radius 6. This means that the length of arc ABC is one-fourth of the circumference of a circle with a radius of 6.
To find the length of the arc ABC, we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle:
C = 2πr
Since the radius is 6, we have:
C = 2π(6) = 12π
However, we only need one-fourth of this circumference, so the length of arc ABC is (1/4)(12π) = 3π.
2. Now let's consider the rectangle EDFB. Since the rectangle is inscribed in the arc ABC, we can draw a diagram to see the relationship between the sides.

Looking at the diagram, we see that the length of side ED corresponds to the length of arc ABC, and the sum of ED and DF is given as 8. So we have:
ED + DF = 8
Since ED is equal to the length of arc ABC, we can substitute 3π for ED:
3π + DF = 8
3. Now, let's solve for DF. Subtract 3π from both sides of the equation:
DF = 8 - 3π
4. We can now calculate the length of side DC, which is equal to the sum of the lengths of arc ABC and DF:
DC = 3π + DF = 3π + (8 - 3π) = 8 - 2π
5. To find the length of side AC, we need to calculate the radius of the circle. Since the length of arc ABC is one-fourth of the circumference of the circle, we can use the formula for circumference and solve for the radius. We know the circumference is 12π, so:
C = 2πr
12π = 2πr
Simplifying, we find:
r = 6
Now, the length of AC is 2 times the radius of the circle:
AC = 2(6) = 12
6. Finally, we can calculate the perimeter of ADCFE by adding up the lengths of all sides:
Perimeter = AD + DC + CF + FE + EA
= AC + DC + AC + ED + EA
= 12 + (8 - 2π) + 12 + 3π + 12
Simplifying, we get:
Perimeter = 44 - 2π + 3π.
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth:
Perimeter ≈ 44 - 2π + 3π ≈ 44 + π ≈ 45.14 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Therefore, the perimeter of ADCFE is approximately 45.14 units.
