Help with three multiple choice geometry questions? (Questions Inside) [Will MEDAL & FAN]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@robtobey quick help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the first one area of a circle is (pi)r^2, What is the radius of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The radius would be 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So in put 10 and you would get \[\pi10^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve that and you would get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the second one, what is the area of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

63 square Feet for the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm no, 10^2=100 100*pi=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok I see. It's 314 Square Feet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#3 \[\pi r^2=4 (36 \pi ) \] Solve the above for r.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So for the second one what is the area of the entire circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would I do Pi12^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 12^2=144 then 144*Pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, go ahead and get a decimal approximation for that because none of the answers are in terms of pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok I got 452.16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So after that it is saying that the triangle is split up into 20 equal segments, and it is asking for the area of ONE of them, so it is asking for the area of 1/20 of the circle how would you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

452.16 Divided by 20-- 22.608

OpenStudy (anonymous):

22.6 Square mm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lets move onto three

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm in my opinion robtobey's answer is pretty good to solve, do you need an explanation to how he got there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um no, I'd solve 4(36pi) right

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For #3 A circle has 360 degrees all around. A 90-degree sector is 90/360 = 1/4, or one quarter of the circle's area. You are told that a 90-deg sector has and area of 36pi. That means the full circle has an area of 4 * 36pi = 144pi

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What you have, 36*pi*4 = 144pi, is the area of the full circle.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The area of a circle is \( \pi r^2 \) Your circle has area \(144 \pi\) That means that \(\pi r^2\) must equal \(144 \pi\) \(\pi r^2 = 144 \pi\) This is the equation robtobey wrote above. Now solve the equation for r to find the radius of the circle.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First divide both sides by pi to cancel out pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok I see now. 12^2=144 after you cancel out pi. The answer is 12 inches

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. Don't multiply by pi. You have pi on both sides of the equation. Divide both sides by pi.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good. You got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol I was wondering why you put "no" but thanks for the help.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\pi r^2 = 144 \pi\) \(\dfrac{\pi r^2}{\pi} = \dfrac{144 \pi}{\pi}\) \(r^2 = 144\) \(r = \sqrt{144}\) \(r = 12\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I type slowly.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You're welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you @mathstudent55 , my fault I left without warning
