The figure below shows the top view of a circular room with a circular stage. The diameter of the stage is 24 feet. The shaded portion represents the seating for the audience around the stage.[Use π =22 over 7] What is the area of the seating portion? 4585.82 ft2 1856.25ft2 1231.61 ft2

4585.82 ft2 1856.25ft2 1231.61 ft2 4680.11 ft2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 1231.61 feet squared?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe that the whole area is 1325 while the other area is 94. 1325-94=1231.61

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tips?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guys?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Be patient, we can't do these instantly. However, my solution is not 1231.61

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4680.11 ft2

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

That is my solution as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

First, find the area of the shaded area. This is given by the formula \[\frac{22}{7}\left(45^2-12^2\right)\approx5911.714285...\]

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

This "shaded" area is including the wedge cut out.

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Now we need to cut out that wedge. The easiest way to do this is with ratios. Note that the angle is \(75^\circ\). That means that the remaining area is given by the formula \[5911.714285\cdot\left(\frac{360-75}{360}\right)\approx4680.11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

makes sense now

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

You understand why I was using \[\frac{360-75}{360}\]correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep
