If I'm given this figure how do I find the area?

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

|dw:1438405106273:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to know how much 54 is of a 360 degrees

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

like the percent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the fraction

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

What if I know the percent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lemme show you the steps \[A _{whole circle} = 17^2\pi\] \[A=17^2\pi \times \frac{ 54 }{ 360 }\]

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the answer

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Ooh!

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

So, 289pi times .15

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

9.07 times 0.15

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

136.119? @saseal

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

136.19 right ?

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Thank you!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

``` Math.PI*17*17*54/360 136.18804153311754 ```

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

@ganeshie8 I keep getting 136.119.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

136.188

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

I do 17 times 17. then that by 3.14. Then that by 54, then that divided by 360...

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

What did I do wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea because some numbers get cut off when you multiply by 3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we multiplied by a very long string of pi

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Ooh, so I was kinda right?

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Ooh, I see. I entered 3.14 instead of hitting the pi key.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we multiplied by 3.141592654

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Is that the number when you hit the pi key?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Sorry, got side tracked. So that was right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Thank you!
