Oh oh alright. Okay 225 pi is my answer.
Onto #8?

8. When the rope goes around the barn the other way, what is the new radius? How much of a circle can it make without hitting the barn or overlapping area you've already found? What is that area?

#52 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 06:01:44

OH! So
area = (1/4) * pi * 30^2
= 706.858 (How much is that in pi)

#53 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 05:40:48

Oh oh!
area = pi * r^2
area = pi * 30^2

area = 2827.433

#54 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 05:35:48

Alright how about #8?

#55 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 05:25:25

So that is my answer for number 7 right?

#56 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 05:22:12

It is 1/4 of the total area.

(1/4) * pi * 50^2 = 1963.495 (how much is that in pi)

#57 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 05:09:13

Can you show your work, because the teacher will want it. But thanks!!!

#58 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 04:51:30

Okay now how about number 7?

7. When the rope goes around the barn, what is the new radius? How much of a circle can it make without hitting the barn or overlapping area you've already found? What is that area?

#59 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 04:37:43

That was the answer: 5890.485

#60 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 04:28:28

75 is the 3/4 of 100

Okay I think almost I got it.

If the area = pi * 50^2
area = 7853.98
I have to get 3/4 of 7853.98

How can I do that?

#61 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 04:11:20

The red area is 3/4 of the whole circle, how can i incorperate that in the equation?

#62 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 03:57:49

area = pi * r^2
area = pi * 50^2

Is this correct till now?

#63 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 03:47:10

I think the area of a circle is Area = pi × r^2

#65 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 03:28:06

I have to show my work, and I don't see the formula anywhere.

#66 Re: Help Me ! » Areas Review » 2013-11-03 03:21:19

Hi,

I read the forums but it wasn't very what the final answers were
Could we start by doing number 6 if that's not too much trouble.
The teacher said I have to use the formula for the area of a circle. What is it? And how can I use it?

THanks
Mathew

I created a new topic and attached the pictures, I named the topic "Areas Review"
It's the samek question but because I couldn't upload a picture here

Attached the picture below.

If there is a goat tied to a rectangular barn on a 50 foot lead and the barn is 20 feet by 20 feet (floor), what is the maximum grazing area? If there are regions you can't find the area of, provide as good an estimate as you can. Assume the goat is tied to a corner outside the barn, cannot get in, and that the barn is not grazing area. (Remember, this will be based on parts of circles, no other shapes...the goat's rope will only get shorter when he tries to go around the barn...)

6. How much of the 50 foot circle can the goat reach without getting interrupted by the barn? What is that area?

7. When the rope goes around the barn, what is the new radius? How much of a circle can it make without hitting the barn or overlapping area you've already found? What is that area?

8. When the rope goes around the barn the other way, what is the new radius? How much of a circle can it make without hitting the barn or overlapping area you've already found? What is that area?

9. The areas you found in 7 and 8 overlap each other. How much do they overlap? What *approximate* shape do they make? What is that area?

10. What is the total grazing area the goat can reach?

Alright, here are the questions i was having trouble with:

I also need some help with the next lesson, I'll send you the questions after I have lunch
Mathew,

#71 Re: Help Me ! » Areas of Polygons and Area Review help! » 2013-11-03 00:49:13

I sent them in and got 20/20 (I figured 17, 18, 19 and 20 by myself)
THANK YOU SO MUCH bobbym

#72 Re: Help Me ! » Areas of Polygons and Area Review help! » 2013-11-03 00:37:33

Alright thank you so much for your help! I'll send them and see what I got.

#74 Re: Help Me ! » Areas of Polygons and Area Review help! » 2013-11-03 00:20:46

Okay so if A = b * h
then b= A/h
Right?

Then b = 690.84 / 20.2
=34.2 (D)
I got it!



Now what about #13 and #14. What is the formula for the rectangle

13. If the base of a rectangle is 28 cm and the area is 588 cm^2, what is the height of the rectangle?

A 17.06 cm
B 122.5 sq cm
C 216 sq cm
D 23 cm
E 21 cm
F 51 cm^2

A 451.53 m^2
B 122.5 m^2
C 216 m^2
D 430 m^2
E 289 m^2
F 510 m^2

#75 Re: Help Me ! » Areas of Polygons and Area Review help! » 2013-11-03 00:12:46

How do I do this one?

12. If the area of a parallelogram is 690.84 m^2 and the height is 20.2 m, what is the length of the base?
A 78.06 m
B 22.5 m
C 216 m
