I got the area for the circle being 3.14 and the area for the square being 121...am I right So far??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi again!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, so find the percentage of the circle in the square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And so I know that Part A: 0 and Part B: 1 that I can answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be 121/3.14 right? Which would become 0.0259

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is closer to 0 than 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1-0.025 = 0.97, which is closer to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes and for Part B how do I show that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh sorry late text

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
