First, the area of the semi-circle would be (PI * r^2)/2= (PI*7*7)/2= (22/7) * (7*7)/2 = 22*7/2

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

77

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

@wolf1728

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

We have to figure out the additional area (see graphic)

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Area of 1/2 the square = 7 * 14 =98 Area of the semi-circle=77 So, the area of the red area (in the top half of the diagram) = 98-77 = 21 So, area of shaded area = 77 + 21 =98

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I Didn't get the last bit?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay I redrew the graphic

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Just looking at the top half of the square, wee have to calculate those 2 red areas correct?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

#JustGotLost

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

So you agree we have to calculate those 2 red areas in the upper half of the circle?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I'm confused Restart plx

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

I mean upper half of the SQUARE

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay, right from the beginning we calculated the area of the semi-circle which is 77 right?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Yes

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

What remains is that we have to calculate the area of the 2 red sections in the NEW graphic.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Yes

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay the area of the entire area of the upper half of that square if 7 * 14 or 98 correct?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

ACDE? Yes

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Yes ACDE = 98 Now we calculate the area of the semi-circle which we know is 77

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Yes

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

So the area of the 2 red areas is 98 minus 77 = 21 Therefore the area of the semi-circle plus the 2 red areas = 77 + 21 = 98

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay looking at the original black and white graphic we have to calculate the gray area

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Oh sure now?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay the gray area in the upper half of the black and white graphoc equals the area of the 2 red areas in my recent graphic correct?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I think

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Yes my graphic is drawn from a different perspective from the black and white graphic but you can see that the areas are the same right?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

yES

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

So to get the area of those upper 2 red sections in my graphic, you get the area of the top half of the red square (7*14) =98 then subtract the area of the semi-circle 77 which equals 21

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

YES

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

So to solve the TOTAL area we get the 21 and add it to the semi-circle area (77) and we get 98

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Yes

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

and that's it!

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Can u summariaze it?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

summarize*

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

okay maybe I should redraw the original graphic

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

sure

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Wow - finally

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

now?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

I think I've got an EASY explanation. The red areas in the bottom half equal the gray areas in the top half

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

According to this book the shaded region i s98cm^2 :/

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

is*

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Which we already calculated right?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

No,The 98 we calculated is ACDE

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Yes but that is ALSO the area of the semi-circle plus the 2 red areas.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I just can't understand this problem :/

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

We need to calculate the gray area The semi-circle area is 77 The red areas equal 21 We add 77 + 21 = 98

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

What? X_x

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

We proved (many lines ago) that the gray area of the upper half of the square equals the red area

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

es

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Yes*

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

The red area = grey area = 21

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

U mean BED?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

BED is the curved gray area and equals 21

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

ACDE = 98 BED = 21 EFD = 77 What about ABE & BCD

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

We didn't have to calculate ABE or BCD but they each equal 10.5

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

sO,WHAT NEXT?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

We know the red areas = the grey areas in the upper half of the square

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

k

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Area of the upper half of the square = 7 * 14 = 98 Area of semi-circle = 77 Area of upper gray areas = 98-77 = 21

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

After 2 hrs(inclusive of ur 1 hr) I finally got This one.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay - then I guess I can leave this question

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Thanks and yes

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

u r welcome :-)
