Spanning a length of 9.02 km, it is the world’s longest tunnel situated above 10,000 feet and is named after the former Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The cross-section of a tunnel is shown in figure. The radius of circular part is 5 square root of 2 space end root m e t r e s space a n d angle A O B equals 90 degree.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

 

(iii) (a) What is the perimeter of cross-section of the tunnel

1 152π+10m  
2 -152π+10m  
3 142π+10m  
4 153π+10m  

Ans.

(1)

Perimeter of cross-section of the tunnel

=Major arc AB+AB=270°360°×2πr+10

=34×2π×52+10=152π+10m
