Area and Circumference of a Circle
Yeah sorry I'm not sure. I haven't done these kinds of problems in a long time. @iPwnBunnies
Look at Question 1. They give us the diameter in inches, but we want it in feet. We want it in feet because the given cost is $3.50 per square feet.
oh
square foot* :3 The diameter is 36 inches. Do you know how many feet that is?
3
Good. The diameter is 3 feet long. What's the length of the radius?
1.5 ft
Good. Can you find the area of the circle?
7.065 in squared
i mean ft
Good, 7.065 square feet. So, the cost per square foot to paint it is $3.50. How much will it cost to paint the sign?
25 dollars
There ya go. :D
k the next one is it a
Yes. :) The entire curve is like the circumference of one circle. Since they gave you the diameter, C = pi*diameter. So yes, it's A. XP Just wanted to explain it a bit lol.
k and i just need help with the last 2
Alright, this one is a bit complicated. Can you see that the shaded region would be the area of the square MINUS the area of all the circles?
yes
Good. Find the area of one circle, multiply it by 9, b/c there are 9 circles. The length of one side of the square will be the diameter of 3 circles, right? Can you take it from here? :3
so so far the area of the circles are 706.5 cm
Ok.
30 cm is one side length of the square
Right.
what do we do with the squares areas now
You have the square's area? 900 cm^2? As I said, we're trying to find the shaded region. That would be the area of the square MINUS the area of all the circles. Simple subtraction now :)
so 193.5
is number 4 asking for circumference
Sorta. It's asking how far will it go in 10 rotations. Look at it like this way: 1 rotation will equal to the circumference.
ok so i could multiply it by 10
Yes, you can multiply the Circumference by 10. :)
ok so thanks so much! :)
No prob. :)
