Notice.

Radius of the semi circle is 5 cm.


Let the width of the blue rectangle be a.


Therefore;

Blue rectangle length is 2a.


b² = a²+a²

b = √(2a²)

b = √(2)a


c = ½(b)

c = ½(√(2)a)


d²+c² = 5²

d² = 25-(½(√(2)a))²

d² = 25-½(a²)

d = √(25-½(a²))


e = d-b

e = √(25-½(a²))-½(√(2)a)


r² =  b²+e²

Where r is the radius of the semi circle (5 cm).

5² = (√(2)a)²+(√(25-½(a²))-½(√(2)a))²

25 = 2a²+25-½(a²)-a√(50-a²)+½(a)²

0 = 2a²-a√(50-a²)

a√(50-a²) = 2a²

√(50-a²) = 2a

50-a² = 4a²

50 = 5a²

a² = 10

a = √(10) cm.

Again, a is the width of the blue rectangle.


It's length is;

2a

= 2√(10) cm.


It implies;


Area Blue Rectangle is;

Length*width

= 2√(10)*√(10)

= 2*10

= 20 cm²
