the rectangular part of the field below is 100 yards long and the diameter of each semicircle is 46 yards.Find the cost of reseeding the field at $0.60 per square yard how do you solve this so confuse
1. Diameters of the 2 semicircles would form the edges of rectangular field. So use the diameter as the width to calculate rectangular area. 2. Then calculate the area of the 2 semi circles, radius 46/2. 3. Add both rectangular and semi circular areas 4. Multiply total area with $0.60 to find total cost.
ok hold on
what about the 100
Yes 100 is the length of the rectangle. So, area of rectangular area = 100*46
o ok
so it is 40.100=? then u divide it by 2 then add it with the 0.60
Total Area = Rectangular Area + 2x Semicircle Area = \[46\times100+2\times (\pi(46/2)^{2})/2\]
Does that make sense?
yes kinda
so the answer will be 6261.90 ?
Yes, thats your total area. Now you can find the total cost from the per sq. yard cost.
now u add that with the 0.60
Add? You sure about that?
idk
1 baseball bat costs $10. How much would it cost to by 10 baseball bats?
See where I am going with this? You are almost there...just think how you will get total cost.
mutiply
there you go!
ok so the answe is 3757.14
