i know part A , but i dont know part B

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Oh ok...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats part B? @Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

again, set up a proportion and cross multiply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is part B 50?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

|dw:1444960439742:dw|

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

cross multiplying gives us 2x = (1/4)(25) solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this for part b?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got x = 25/8

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

great, they might want it as a decimal, I'm not sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok next :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A circular picture is 8 inches in diameter. Part A What is the area of the picture in square inches? A. 4π square inches B. 8π square inches C. 16π square inches D. 32π square inches Part B A frame that is 2 inches wide surrounds the picture. What is the total area of the picture and the frame in square inches? A. 4π square inches B. 12π square inches C. 36π square inches D. 40π square inches

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

area = pi*r^2, where r is the radius of the circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that for Part A?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

find the radius of the circle....

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

radius = (1/2)*diameter

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

you understand geny ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 4

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good now find the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

I already told you. please pay attention.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

nope.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

go back and read over what I said before.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

you're forgetting the pi

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

it should be 16pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4 pi and 16 pi?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

the radius is 4 and the area is 16pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so part A is 16 pi .. whats part b?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

for Part B, the radius increases by 2 so the new radius is 6 now find the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

no.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

use the area equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

36pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so part b is 36 pi?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok next! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

start with the shaded region

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

|dw:1444961803976:dw|

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

start by finding the area of the triangle on top the base is 10 and the height is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the equationto find the area of the triangle?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=area+of+triangle+equation

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

look it up yourself, then memorize it. I don't want to keep telling you the same equations over and over again. write it down if you need to.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but can you tell me one moer time please ? :)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

no.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

look it up on the internet.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

just type in "area of triangle equation" into google.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

no.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

http://www.mathsisfun.com/area.html I gave you the base and height. now find the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good. now lets keep going.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
