Okay, so we have 3/4 a circle and a rectangle.

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

ok

OpenStudy (igreen):

a = 10 So one of the sides of the rectangle is 10. Plug in 10 to find the other one: 3a 3(10) 3 * 10 = ?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

30

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so the length is 30, and the width is 10. \(A_{Rectangle} = lw\) \(A_{Rectangle} = (30)(10)\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Multiply 30 and 10.

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

300

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, that's the area of the rectangle, now let's do the 3/4 circle.

OpenStudy (igreen):

For the circle, the radius is 'a' or '10'. We can just act like it's a whole circle and find the area of it, then we can multiply by 3/4. \(A_{Circle} = \pi r^2\) Plug in what we know: \(A_{Circle} = (3.14)(10)^2\) Simplify that

i got 3.14

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

i man 314

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Wait, nevermind..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Multiply 3/4 * 314

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

235.5

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

@iGreen

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

oh snap please hurry im almost out of time

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

@iGreen

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

OpenStudy (igreen):

235.5 + 300

OpenStudy (igreen):

535.5
