OpenStudy (pinklion23):

easy do you know the formula for a semicircle

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

and the area for a triangle

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

area for triangle is H*B/2

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

oops sorry no the formula for the semicircle is pi*r^2/2

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

sorry brain fart there lol :P

OpenStudy (lexi724):

3.14*14.14^2/2?

OpenStudy (pinklion23):
