I know the answer, but I get a different answer every time. Please show me what I am doing wrong.
@Reaper534
So im assuming you found the area of the rectangle, the area of the 2 triangles, and the area of the semi circle?
Yeah.
These are my answers for each of the areas- 1/2 circle- 9.9 Rectangle-15 2triangles-.5 each.
How did you get 15 for the area of the rectangle?
oops my bad I forgot about the little part inbetween the semi circle and the the rectangle
:)
I mean it seems like you did it right based on the calculation
What did you get as th answer?
Idk, cause when I did everything else I got an answer that wasn't an option.
did you make sure that when you calculated the area of the the whole thing to multiple that by the 8 and then after you get that answer, you add in the 35 dollar installation fee?
Yeah i did all that.
Well perhaps check your calculations since oyu have the right area I assume, but after i did it I got an answer that is one of the ones shown
Hmm. Ok cause my answers were like 2.42 and 2.38 or mesothing like that. And this is saying to go to the nearest cent.
lol *something
Perhaps use the pi function on the calculator instead of 3.14?
Oh well maybe I was just adding or mulitplying something wrong. At least I know I'm finding the areas correctly, right?
what did you get as the total area?
25.9
I got 25.817
Oh.. thats almost the same right?
Yeah its about the same but for insurance why not try finding out the final answer using mine and then yours and then compare the two answers
mmk. I get what your saying. Thanks for your help bro
