PLEASE HELP
I Dont know what to do
Not the slightest clue?
oh no
Well, what's the formula of a circle?
2 pi r
Wait a sec. I be back
Is that the formula for the area or the circumference.
Hello?
2 pi R is the formula for area
Ok. So just divide the diametre by 2 for the radius, and divide the result you get from the formula by 2 for the semi-circle. The multiply that by 6, cause there's 6 circles.
is that it?
No
That's only for the circles.
For the perimetre, use the formula for a circumference, and divide that by 2, and multiply it by 6. Once you're done that, imagine the polygon in the middle as 6 triangles.
ok so for all the areas for the circles i got 150.79644737231007544620688239742
Ok. Is that for 1 circle, or all 6?
all 6
Ok. Now we need the area of the polygon in the middle.
8 times 6 right
Is there any shape you think we can break up the middle polygon? That you could use to calculate the area?
hexagon so 8 times 6
I dunno. I guess? I didn't do any work on this yet.
ok i got that and aded the area from the circles so i got a wierd number but it rounds up to 199
Very strange. COuld you show your work (Scanning it would make less work i think)
And your perimeter?
AGh. Inches.
8 time 6 and then the area from the circles was 150 (rounded up to 151)
Wats the 8 from?
its the distance of each side of the hexagon
I think you're right. I wouldn't really know.
But if you, who did it, thinks its right, then there must be some truth to it.
The perimeter is the circumference of 3 circles whose diameter is 8. The circumference of 1 circle is pi(diameter) so 3 circles = 3(pi)(8)= 24pi = 75.4 The area of the three circles is 3(pi)(r^2) = 3(pi)(16)= 48pi=150.8
