5. The Colorado state flag consists of three horizontal stripes of equal height. The side lengths of the flag are in the ratio 2 : 3. The diameter of the gold-colored disk is equal to the height of the center stripe. What percentage of the flag is gold?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

the diameter of the circle is ⅓ of the height

so the radius is 1/6 of the height

the area of the flag is 1*1.5 of the height

(we need to consider this)

pi*(1/6)² / 1.5

= 0.058177

so the percentage is

5.82 %

So, the required percentage is  [tex]5.81\%[/tex].

To understand the calculations, check below.

Area of the disk:

The area of the disk is defined as the ‘ measure of surface ‘ surrounded by the round edge (circumference) of the disk. The area of a disk can be derived by breaking it into a number of identical parts of disk as units — calculating their areas and summing them up till the disk is reformed.

That is [tex]Area=\pi \frac{d^2}{4}[/tex]

Let the width and the length of the flag be [tex]2x[/tex] and [tex]3x[/tex] respectively.

So, the diameter of the gold-colored disk will be [tex]\frac{2x}{3}[/tex]

Now, by using the above formula the area of the gold disk will be,

[tex]\pi \frac{d^2}{4}=\pi\times\frac{4x^2}{4\times 9} \\ =\frac{\pi x^2}{9}[/tex]

And the area of the flag will be,

[tex]Area=l\times b\\=2x\times 3x\\=6x ^2[/tex]

So, the required percentage is,

[tex]\frac{(\frac{\pi x^2}{9} )}{6x^2} \times 100=\frac{\pi}{54}\times 100\\ =5.81\%[/tex]
