Concave Lens Block

Concave Lens Block: a composite plane figure made of a rectangle 8 × 5.2 cm, minus a semicircle of radius 2.6 cm, minus a semicircle of radius 2.6 cm. It is a classic middle school geometry problem (“Cutouts & Benchmarks”). The net area is 20.38 cm² and the total perimeter is 32.33 cm.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = b·h − π·(h/2)²

Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 41.6 − 10.62 − 10.62 = 20.38 cm².
