The image below is a triangle drawn inside a circle with center O: A triangle is shown inscribed inside a circle. The leg of the triangle labeled 8 inches passes through the center of the circle, O. The other two legs are labeled as 4 inches and 5 inches. Which of the following expressions shows the area, in square inches, of the circle? (π = 3.14) 3.14 ⋅ 42 3.14 ⋅ 52 3.14 ⋅ 5 3.14 ⋅ 22

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

is A correct?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I'm thinking...

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

u think it A?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is your drawing like this? |dw:1439566709975:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@nuccioreggie

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

NO I WILL SHOW U

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

THERE

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! I asked for that drawing, because my drawing it is impossible, since a traingle inscribed like mine has to be a right triangle

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

triangle*

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

so A

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here we can compute the area of our triangle, using the Eron's formula

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

is A correct ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the half-perimeter of our triangle is: p=(8+4+5)/2=...?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

why u neveranswer my question is it A?!

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

14.5

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait a moment I check your answer

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

OK

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

DID YOU GET IT

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, the area of a circle is: pi*radius^2=3.14*4*4=...? since the diameter is 8 inches, then radius= 4 inches

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

3.14 .42

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is: \[3.14 \cdot {4^2}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is 4^2 not 42

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

OK

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!
