Well find the area of the whole circle and multiply that by 3/4 because you only want 3/4 of the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to find the area of a circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = Pi r^2 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep so what is the area of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the area of the circle be 50.27 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember is says to leave your answer in terms of pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like said don't substitute 3.14 in for pi. So when it is pi*r^2 leave it as r^2*pi (just simplify r^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do 4^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If so that'd be 16 then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now the shaded region takes up how much of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The shaded region takes up 3/4 of the circle. So the area of the shaded region is 3/4A where A is the circle's area. So substitute and get the answer. What is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you don't know how I got 3/4 just ask.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol I see how you got 3/4, I can look at the diagram and see that but the answer is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer would be 3/4*16pi or 12pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry for not posting :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the circle for problem 2 would look like a circle cut in half

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you don't know why ask me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then you find the area of 1/2 of the circle. so you have that the radius is 1/2(14)=7 and the area of the whole circle is 7^2*pi and we need half of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember keep the pi. The answer should be in the form x*pi
