@UnkleRhaukus quick help?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Can you find the area of the whole circle?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

The blue region is 3/4 of the whole circle, plus a triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1017.88 Is what I got as the area of the whole circle

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

good, so what is that area of 3/4 of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I would do 1017.88 divided by 4 which is 254.47 then multiply that by 3 and get 763.41-- Thats 3/4 of 1017.88

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yes, that is right, but for this question you should leave your answer in terms of pi \[A_\text{whole circle} = \pi r^2= \pi\times18^2=\pi\times 324\approx1017.88\] \[A_{3/4\text{ circle}} =\frac34\times\pi\times 324=243\pi\approx763.14\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Now we need to find the area of the triangle. Fortunately, the triangle is right-angled...

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[A_\text{triangle}=\tfrac12bh\] In our case, \(b=h=r=18\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 1/2 * 18?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

no, 1/2 * 18 *18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 * 18 * 18 = 162

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

right,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So (243pi + 162) ft^2 or (243pi - 162) ft^2

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

And the total area of the blue region is the sum of the 3/4 circle, and the triangle i.e.\[A_\text{blue region} = A_{3/4\text{ circle}} + A_\text{triangle}\\ \qquad\qquad=%243\pi+162 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I choose letter A, correct?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Yes, that is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can we go onto the next one?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

|dw:1453262321550:dw|

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

It's half a circle, right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Find the area of the circle, then halve it. Don't forget that the diameter is two times the radius.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, 180 is half a circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Area of the circle is 176.71-- That divided by 2 is 88.355

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yes, but as before, all the options are expressed in-terms of pi

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

... What is 7.5^2 / 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28.125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be C?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeahs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks, i appreciate your help.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
