Find the area
Area of rectangle A = L * W Area of a circle A = pi r^2 first find the area of the rectangle. Then find the area of the circle, they give you the diameter 2 half circles are = 1 circle subtract the area of the circle from the area of the rectangle
Notice how if you put the two semicircles together, they form 1 single circle with a diameter of 14. |dw:1367449743327:dw|To get the area of the remaining area, we must first find the area of the rectangle, given by: \(\bf Area=Length \times Width \) Then you need to subtract the area of the circle from the area of the rectangle, and the area of a circle is given by \(\bf Area=\pi r^2,where \ r=\frac{1}{2}d \). r is the radius and d is the diameter. And that will give you the remaining area. @ashleynicolee
32.4? no, i think im wrong
Find the area of the rectangle. Find the area of the circle. Subtract and get the answer. @ashleynicolee
what is the area of the rectangle 14*28
392
Nope.
what is the area of the circle 3.14(7^2)
153.86
so is the total area 238.14cm2 ?
now subtract the circle from the rectangle
392 - 153.86
makes sense?
Look:\[\bf Area \ of \ Rectangle=14 \times 28\]\[\bf Area \ of \ Circle=\pi r^2=\pi(7)^2\]After getting both areas, subtract circle's area from the rectangle's area. @ashleynicolee
