this is my last question. someone help.
Calculate the area of both shapes
Yes, I got that. But I need help on getting there.
Cool. So, do you know how to calculate the area of a rectangle?
P= area of circle/area of rect.?
I think so.
in this problem, would the rectangle be 1.92?
Yep. So A(rectangle) = base x height \[and A(circle) = \pi r ^{2}\]
What do I do next?
Yep. A(rectangle) = (1+1.4) x (0.8) = 1.92
So once you've got the area of the rectangle you need the area of the circle
It would be 0.5 because the radius is 0.4
Yeah A(circle) = 0.4^2 x 3.1415...
So then, as you said, P= area of circle/area of rect Simply calculate, using the values that we worked out
How do put that in equation?
P = (0.5) / (1.92)
0.26
.
Exactly
I have these other ones, all I need is someone to check if its right.
answer b
I agree
answer b.
@jayzdd is the last question correct?
you got b?
Yes
I'm guessing its wrong?
the circle has area pi * (.8/2)^2
the rectangle has three regions, the left of the circle region of the circle, the circle itself, and the right of the circle region
So what's the equation for it?
it has total area 1.0 * 0.8 = .8 we want to find the probability of falling into the area outside the semicircle
the semicircle area is 1/2 * pi * (.4)^2 the area to the left of the semicircle is (1.0)*(.8) - 1/2 * pi * (.4^2) divide this by total area (1.0)*(0.8)
So calculate (1.0)*(0.8) - 1/2 * pi * (0.4^2) first
we are trying to find the probability of falling into the green area http://prntscr.com/91do6n
is the square of (0.4^2) meant to be inside or outside?
Do you agree that green area + blue area = total area
Yes I got that
green area + blue area = total area plugging in: green area + 1/2* pi * (.4)^2 = 1.0 * (0.8) solve for green area green area = 1.0 * (0.8) - 1/2* pi * (.4)^2
Yes I got 0.54
probability of falling into green = green area / total area = .54 / ( 1.0 * 0.8)
actually its better if you keep more decimals = .54867 / ( 0.8 ) = .6858 this rounds to .69
are we good?
