how do u find area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to a square or rectangle: you multiply the width by length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Length x Width = Area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here can i give you like a question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are painting a ceiling, part of which is covered by a round fixture light 2 feet in diameter. The ceiling is 12 feet by 8 feet. Find the area of the region u will paint.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would find the area and then subtract out the area for the light.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would I multiply?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12x8=96 then as chris said you subtract the area of the light

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ceiling 12x8= 96 Light pi R^2 = pi So it would be 96-pi roughly 92.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

96 - 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R is the radius which is half the diameter so pi 1^2 = pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Area of a circle is pi r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does pi r^2 mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\pi r ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does that mean too?
