hartnn (hartnn):

can you find the diameter of that semi-circle ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they want me to find the area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

Area of shaded region = Area of rectangle - Area of semi circle so, to get area of semi circle, you will need diameter or radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it SA=360-AS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the area of the semi circle do I use π r²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi r^2

hartnn (hartnn):

yes thats correct, but you need 'r'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the did not give me the radius of the circle so do I use 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and make it into 2

hartnn (hartnn):

|dw:1411775908090:dw| oh and Area of semi-circle is HALF of the area of circle
