- 8A skate park is building a ramp base with a compound shape: a rectangle measuring 10 m by 6 m, with a quarter-circle of radius 6 m attached to one of the 6 m ends. The quarter-circle's arc forms the boundary of the shape in place of that end, and its two straight radii lie along the two 10 m sides of the rectangle. Use pi = 3.14 throughout.(a)Calculate the area of the compound shape, giving your answer to the nearest m^2.[4 marks](b)Calculate the perimeter of the compound shape, giving your answer to the nearest metre.[4 marks](c)The ramp is to be edged with a safety strip costing $12 per metre along the straight sides found in part (b), and $17 per metre along the arc (the standard rate plus a $5 per metre surcharge for the curved section). Calculate the total cost of edging the whole ramp.[5 marks]
