need help with geometry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shoot the question :)

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh boy this is complicated so first do you know the area of a circle formula? Or even better what's the area of that circle

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

the area of a circle in general?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can work from there

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

isn't it just the 3.14 thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's Pi(r^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 18^2 times pi

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

1010.36?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah okay so now we are looking for a section of the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A right angle is 90 degrees which is 1/4th of 360 so divide the area by 4

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

so 90 divded by 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no, the area so 1010.36 by 4

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

252.56

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so that is the area of 1/4th of the circle right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to find the area of 3/4th of the circle and a the triangle . So multiply that number by 3 and all we have left is to add the area of the triangle

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

757.77

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great! Now what do we have left to add? Just the area of the triangle right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the formula for the area of a triangle?

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

1/2 *base * hight right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES! So what's the base and the height of the triangle?

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

757.77 and 252.59 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no, so you have 757.77 keep that on the side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The base and height of the triangle are 18 and 18. So 18 times 18 is 324

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide that by 2 and you get 162, and all you need to do is add that 757.77 and you should have your answer.

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

so add 162 and 757.77

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep!

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

919.77?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good Job!

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

Can I have help with one more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uh, sure

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what's the area of the square. S^2 right? So just 8 times 8 so it's 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64 Minus pir^2 and the r is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 64-16pi

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

13.734?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

So thats the answer then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes......

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

so rounding to the nearest tenth it would be 13.7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mhm haha

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

okay, thank you!
