From a circular sheet of paper with a radius 20 cm, four circles of radius 5 cm each are cut out. What is the ratio of the uncut to the cut portion?
Explanation:
Area of the original paper = π(20)2 = 400π cm2. The total cut portion area = 4(π)(5)2 = 100π cm2 . Therefore, area of the uncut (shaded) portion = (400 – 100) = 300π cm2. Hence, the required ratio = 300π : 100π = 3 : 1.
