OpenStudy (pinklion23):

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

so got 108 but you do not know how you got it....?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

ok then............. well lets just start from the beginning so we know 108 is the right answer and it will be explained :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah ok

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

the formula is 1/2*a*c*h

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

so V= 1/2*1.6*12.6*10.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um hummm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did the formula I got 108.36

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

yes 108.36 is the correct answer so just follow the formula

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

you always get your answer from the formula given to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V= 1/2*1.6*12.6*10.75 so this is the explanation

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks can u help me with another one plz

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

The figure below shows two half-circles at the ends of a rectangle with the dimensions shown. Which is closest to the area of the figure in square inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 93 but again I need an explanation on how I got 93

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

okay hold on :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alrigh

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

ok im back sorry i had a test too :)

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

so first find the area of the rectangle which is 80

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

then find the area of one of the half circles

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

(Pi*r^2)/2

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

im sorry i have to go but i hope that formula works and remember to subtract 10 when you are all done adding all of the areas together :)
