Geometry.

(Area of triangle-area of circle) * $10= A(triangle) = \[1/2(b*h)\] A(circle) =\[\pi*r ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I know that, I just don't know how to find the area of a triangle without knowing the height.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cut the triangle in half. now you have a triangle & know 2 sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 3rd side will be the hieght of the original

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are oyu meaning the middle? As in the line you draw will be the third side? because even then I wouldnt know how tall that is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u can also find the area of an equilateral triangle by this formula\[\sqrt{3}/4timesa ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{3}/4*a ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you cut the triangle down the middle and let x be your new side. use the Pythagorean thereom: \[36^{2}=18^{2}+x ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude why did you delete that, I was trying to figure it out!!!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok. I gotcha now @red0801

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there u go!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you can take the area of the triangle subtract the area of the circle. multiply by cost of material! :-) & wallah..ur an engineer!

@DarthTony thank you for helping! and red, lol not quite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1362772061282:dw| \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times36^{2}-\pi\times6^{2}\] or in my pic \[(2\times(\frac{(\sqrt{18^{2}+36^{2})}\times18}{2}))-(\pi\times6^{2})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um actually \[(2\times(\frac{\sqrt{36^{2}-18^{2}}\times18}{2}))-(\pi\times6^{2})\] not18^2+36^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks so much bro!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right i'm very blur

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nothing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmk whatever you say.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @red0801

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tony..u are only accounting for 1/2 of the base.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob. good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ahmad_Shadab thanks for your help too. And I got the right answer, so what do you mean only accounting for half?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get for the height?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my second post and \[(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times36^{2})-\pi6^{2}\] are correct solution :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sry..only saw this 1 (2×(362−182−−−−−−−−√×182))−(π×62)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should we close this question? we do discussing about?? @Emah already got an answer.
