Quick help w/ two multiple choice questions? (Q's Inside) [Will MEDAL & FAN]
@UnkleRhaukus quick help?
Can you find the area of the whole circle?
The blue region is 3/4 of the whole circle, plus a triangle
1017.88 Is what I got as the area of the whole circle
good, so what is that area of 3/4 of the circle?
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
yes, that is right, but for this question you should leave your answer in terms of pi \[A_\text{whole circle} = \pi r^2= \pi\times18^2=\pi\times 324\approx1017.88\] \[A_{3/4\text{ circle}} =\frac34\times\pi\times 324=243\pi\approx763.14\]
Now we need to find the area of the triangle. Fortunately, the triangle is right-angled...
\[A_\text{triangle}=\tfrac12bh\] In our case, \(b=h=r=18\)
So 1/2 * 18?
no, 1/2 * 18 *18
1/2 * 18 * 18 = 162
right,
So (243pi + 162) ft^2 or (243pi - 162) ft^2
And the total area of the blue region is the sum of the 3/4 circle, and the triangle i.e.\[A_\text{blue region} = A_{3/4\text{ circle}} + A_\text{triangle}\\ \qquad\qquad=%243\pi+162 \]
I choose letter A, correct?
Yes, that is right.
Can we go onto the next one?
|dw:1453262321550:dw|
It's half a circle, right?
Find the area of the circle, then halve it. Don't forget that the diameter is two times the radius.
Yes, 180 is half a circle.
Area of the circle is 176.71-- That divided by 2 is 88.355
yes, but as before, all the options are expressed in-terms of pi
... What is 7.5^2 / 2?
28.125
So it would be C?
yeahs
thanks, i appreciate your help.
