Figure 3

Figure 3 shows a flowerbed. Its shape is a quarter of a circle of radius x metres with two
equal rectangles attached to it along its radii. Each rectangle has length equal to x metres
and width equal to y metres.

Given that the area of the flowerbed is 4 m 2 ,

(a) show that


16 −  x 2
y=
8x
(3)

(b) Hence show that the perimeter P metres of the flowerbed is given by the equation
