正确答案 · Correct Answer
A
解析 · Solution
解法1
常规解法 · 外接正方形
在星形外画一个正方形,边长等于圆的直径 4。四个角恰好是四个四分之一圆,合起来是一个半径 2 的整圆,面积 。正方形面积 16,故星形面积 。原圆面积 ,比值 。
巧解 · 比值直接化简
星形面积 ,所求比 。
Solution 1
Elementary · circumscribing square
Draw a square around the star with side 4 (the circle's diameter). Its four corners are quarter-circles that together make one full circle of radius 2, area . So the star's area is , and the ratio to the original circle () is .
Slick · simplify the ratio directly
The star's area is , so the ratio is .
