Could someone check my answer? (Finding the area question)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what i got so far but im stuck because none of the answers i get are even an option..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Question is not just about finding the area of circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

read the q once, and tell me what its asking to find

OpenStudy (lopezking1):

the area of 1 of the tiles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is asking for the area of the tiles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 tile.*

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

How do we find, any ideas u have ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know. :(

OpenStudy (lopezking1):

instead of 7^2 try 1^2 right @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats where im stuck i guess. Im thinking it has to do with pi?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ha close...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the tiles path

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:/ poop.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

total area of tiles path can be computed by subtracting the 'area of small circle' (radius 7) from the 'area of big circle' (radius 8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have about 9 minutes left to answer this. Dx Should i just guess? o:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we will solve this in less than that, lets try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 1 times 7 = 8 ? wait..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.9 is my answer.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Area of big circle = \(\pi 8^2\) Area of small circle = \(\pi 7^2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Area of tiles path = \(\pi 8^2 - \pi 7^2\) = 47.1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

divide it by 8 to get the area of 1 tile
