Match column A to column B, calculate the shaded areas (question 1) and perimeters (question 2).

Steps to Solve

1. Calculate the shaded area for shape (a)

The shape is composed of two rectangles. The first rectangle has dimensions $5 \text{ m} \times 2 \text{ m}$, and the second has dimensions $6 \text{ m} \times 2 \text{ m}$. The total shaded area is the sum of the areas of the two rectangles: $A_a = (5 \times 2) + (6 \times 2) = 10 + 12 = 22 \text{ m}^2$. However, none of the options match. Let's look at the bigger shape. The bigger shape can be seen as a rectangle of 6 by 10 minus a rectangle of 4 by 8 $A_a = (10 \times 6) - (8 \times 4) = 60 - 32 = 28 \text{ m}^2$. No matches either. It's likely there is a typo.

Let's assume the smaller rectangle is 2m x 8m, then total shaded area from last calculation is $A_a = (10 \times 6) - (8 \times 6) = 60 - 48 = 12 \text{ m}^2$. Let's assume the larger rectangle is 10m x 8m, then total shaded area from the first cacluation is $A_a = (8 \times 2) + (6 \times 2) = 16 + 12 = 28 \text{ m}^2$. Given the options, there is likely a typo.

Shape (a) looks like two rectangles, with shared dimensions, area of each is $5 \times 2 = 10$ and $2 \times 6 = 12$. However, these can join together as $8 \times 5$. $A_a = 8 \times 5 = 40 \text{ m}^2$. The provided answer choices do not look correct.

Without making assumptions, we can see if other shapes have matches from their solutions.

2. Calculate the shaded area for shape (b)

The shape is composed of two rectangles. The first rectangle has dimensions $10 \text{ m} \times 2 \text{ m}$, and the second has dimensions $6 \text{ m} \times 2 \text{ m}$. So the total shaded area is the sum of the areas of these two rectangles: $A_b = (10 \times 2) + (6 \times 2) = 20 + 12 = 32 \text{ m}^2$. None of the options match this either.

Shape (b) looks like two rectangles joined together as $10 \times 8$. $A_b = 10 \times 8 = 80 \text{ m}^2$.

Let's assume total shape is 10x8 minus a 6x6. $A_b = (10 \times 8) - (6 \times 6) = 80 - 36 = 44 \text{ m}^2$. Still no matches from their final answers.

3. Calculate the shaded area for shape (c)

The shape is a square with four quarter-circles removed. The side of the square is $21 \text{ m}$. The four quarter-circles make up one full circle. The radius of the circle is half the side of the square, i.e., $21/2 = 10.5 \text{ m}$. The area of the square is $21 \times 21 = 441 \text{ m}^2$. The area of the circle is $\pi r^2 = \pi (10.5)^2 \approx 346.36 \text{ m}^2$. The shaded area is the area of the square minus the area of the circle: $A_c = 441 - 346.36 = 94.64 \text{ m}^2$. This is close to option (s) $94.5 \text{ m}^2$.

Therefore, shape (c) matches with (s). c -> s

4. Calculate the shaded area for shape (d)

The shape is a sector of a circle (a quarter-circle) with radius $28 \text{ m}$, minus a sector of a circle (a quarter-circle) with radius $21 \text{ m}$. The area of the larger quarter-circle is $\frac{1}{4} \pi (28^2) = \frac{1}{4} \pi (784) = 196\pi \approx 615.75 \text{ m}^2$. The area of the smaller quarter-circle is $\frac{1}{4} \pi (21^2) = \frac{1}{4} \pi (441) = 110.25\pi \approx 346.36 \text{ m}^2$. The shaded area is the difference between the two areas: $A_d = 615.75 - 346.36 = 269.39 \text{ m}^2$. This is very close to option (p) which is $269.5 \text{ m}^2$.

Therefore, shape (d) matches with (p): d -> p

5. Find the matches for shapes (a) and (b)

Since (c) matches with (s) and (d) with (p), we are left with (q) and (r). (q)=$26 m^2$ and (r)=$56 m^2$. From question one, we know both the answers for A and B are incorrect. Thus an assumption will have to be made. However, let's look at question 2, where we have a higher chance of having the answers correct.

6. Calculate the perimeter for shape (a) in question 2

The shape's perimeter is the sum of all its sides. Starting from the top left and moving clockwise: $1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 12 \text{ cm}$. Shape (a) matches with (s): a -> s

7. Calculate the perimeter for shape (b) in question 2

Starting from the top left and moving clockwise: $4 + 12 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 12 = 38 \text{ cm}$.

8. Calculate the perimeter for shape (c) in question 2

Starting from the top left and moving clockwise: $2 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 24 \text{ cm}$.

9. Calculate the perimeter for shape (d) in question 2

Starting from the top left and moving clockwise: $1 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 10 \text{ cm}$.

10. Adjusted calculations for question 2.

The sums were incorrect to the shape (b), (c), (d) so they needed to be adjusted. Shape (b): top + right + bottom + left: $4 + 12 + 4 + 12 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 48 \text{ cm}$. The length segments must also be summed up. However, this sum has errors. $12+4+12+2+6+2+6+4=48$. Thus it is safe to assume that either this question has errors, or that our assumption from question 1 remains correct where there are errors.

11. Let's evaluate a simple shape

Looking at shape (d), $1+1+1+1+2+2=8 cm$. Thus there is either a typo, or OCR has errors.

12. Evaluating all shapes for perimeters

Shape (a): $1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=12 cm$. Thus it is safe to assume that this value is correct based on the answers Shape (b): top + right + bottom + left: $4+12+4+12 =32+ 2+6+2+6 = 48$. Since, given the options, we can assume shape (b) is incorrectly drawn. Let's say the perimeter of shape B = 28 cm, and adjust accordingly. Shape (c): $2+2+4+2+6+2+8+2 = 30$. Shape (d): $1+1+1+2+3+2=10$. Thus these are all incorrect.
