On a rectangular metal sheet of area 135 sq in, a circle is painted such that the circle touches opposite two sides. If the area of the sheet left unpainted is two-thirds of the painted area, then the perimeter of the rectangle in inches is
- A.
3\sqrt{\pi}\left(5 + \frac{12}{\pi}\right)
- B.
4\sqrt{\pi}\left(3 + \frac{12}{\pi}\right)
- C.
5\sqrt{\pi}\left(3 + \frac{12}{\pi}\right)
- D.
3\sqrt{\pi}\left(\frac{5}{2} + \frac{6}{\pi}\right)
A
Explanation
Total area of sheet sq in. Given: Unpainted Area . Total Area .
Since circle touches two opposite sides of the rectangle, width .
Since total area :
