what do you need help with
OpenStudy (liv1234):
The question I just posted
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i see now do you know how to find the area of a regular octagon
OpenStudy (alekos):
area = length x length
so from here you can work out what the answer might be

I think it's either A or C.
OpenStudy (alekos):
your just guessing
OpenStudy (liv1234):
No, wouldn't it be 210 because 35*6=210?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ya you shouldnt guess
OpenStudy (liv1234):
I'm not just guessing......

If you increase the length by 6 then the area will increase by 6 squared
OpenStudy (liv1234):
So, it is A?
OpenStudy (liv1234):
Because 35*6^2=1260
OpenStudy (alekos):
well done
OpenStudy (liv1234):
Can you help me with another question?

yep
OpenStudy (liv1234):
OpenStudy (liv1234):
Is there a specific formula I'm supposed to do to solve this one?
OpenStudy (liv1234):
@alekos I got 25.12 for some reason, but that's not an option.
OpenStudy (alekos):
yes there is a specific formula
Area of a circle is pi x r^2 but in this case we only have part of a circle or a fraction of a circle. What do you think that fraction will be?

OpenStudy (liv1234):
the fraction would be 1/2 since we have half a circle.
OpenStudy (alekos):
No we don't. Half a circle would be 180 degrees. We have 172 degrees
OpenStudy (liv1234):
Ohh, I'm sorry that's right. So 172.
OpenStudy (liv1234):
So, how would I calculate it?
OpenStudy (alekos):
and the fraction is 172/?

OpenStudy (liv1234):
172/1?
OpenStudy (liv1234):
Or 172/4?
OpenStudy (alekos):
No. Whats the number of degrees of a full circle?
OpenStudy (liv1234):
360
OpenStudy (alekos):
yes. so the fraction is ?

172/360
OpenStudy (alekos):
beautiful. so this is what you have to multiply by the area of the circle with radius 4
OpenStudy (liv1234):
172/360*4
OpenStudy (alekos):
no. whats the area of a circle?
OpenStudy (liv1234):
360?

OpenStudy (alekos):
no. thats the number of degrees. Have you been taught the area formula?
OpenStudy (liv1234):
We're trying to figure out the area, right? So how would I know the area?
OpenStudy (alekos):
Yes we are. I'm asking you if you know the Area formula of a full circle with radius r
OpenStudy (liv1234):
pi*r^2
OpenStudy (liv1234):
The answer is 24.

OK. now we're getting somewhere
So the area of the arc (172 deg) = (172/360)*pi*r^2
