How to draw a figure like this? I want to have part of the figure shaded as well.

how to select which part you want it be to shaded? I cant use freeform well.

skeujin SG

paiseh dunno.

usually if i want to have a image in word i will first draw it in powerpoint thn save it as a jpeg image. thn in ms word i insert it as a pic.

hope this helps.

I won't really recommend using Word if you need to draw shapes of precision and accuracy. But if it's just a chin-chai task, simply draw a filled rectangle and a circle with borders on each side of the rectangle with its entire width as the diameter of the circle. Then use a borderless, transparent rectangle to cover the borders outside the original rectangle of each circle.

I dunno how to make the breadth of a rectangle borderless while keeping the length bordered.

Also dunno how to shade the correct parts.

skeujin SG

oops true hor.

ok if u r idiot like me thn in powerpoint draw a rectangle n shade it in the color u want.
draw the two circles n shade them white. then draw the lines n label as u require. save the file as a jpeg thn open it in paint n erase away the unwanted lines thn save it.

leh chey but this is the simplest way i know how with basic office

Make sure your rectangle is 24x16.

Use a fill for the circles which is identical to the background colour and make sure they appear above the original rectangle.
