OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

Circle = 5 rectangle = 1 instead of 4

OpenStudy (lina777):

What do you mean by 5 and 1 instead of 4? Are those the lengths?

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

Yes!!

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

There is no question...

OpenStudy (aveline):

Are we finding the area? The perimeter?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Exactly^

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

Oh right the.. its area

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

So are we finding the area of the first shape you linked or?

OpenStudy (aveline):

\[A=\pi \times r^{2}\]

OpenStudy (aveline):

This is the area of a circle. Since we are only finding half of the area, we will half our answer.

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

Ok

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

Okay so 3.14 x 2.5?

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

@Aveline ?

OpenStudy (aveline):

No, we do pi * 5^2. Then, we half our answer. We get 39.2699081699 units squared for the semicircle. Can you find the area of the rectangle?

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

yes i can 5 x 1? am i correct?

OpenStudy (aveline):

Right. Now we just add: 39.27+5=44.27 The figure is about 44.27 units squared.

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

wait 1 more?

OpenStudy (aveline):

Sure

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):

Ok soits half the pic above

OpenStudy (grandmoffchris):
