yup So its just talking about what happens to the rope when the goat goes around the barn but when I read the  problem it doesn't make sense its annoying.

#127 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-14 05:11:52

I am still confused so the base of the rectangular barn is 50 and the height is 20? the goat is tied in the (A) corner (of the circle u drew )

#128 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-12 09:48:28

Ok I have 5 more to go but I cant picture it or draw it it's so confusing

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?

Thank you sooooooooooooo much big_smile

#131 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-12 03:03:55

then when I do the opposite

5^2√2 ^2* PI = 50 PI

#132 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-12 02:59:12

ok so half the area of 100PI=50 PI

50PI ÷ PI = 50

√50 = 5√2 = Radius

so the area is 50 PI

#133 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-12 01:40:51

square root of 25PI is 5PI

#134 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-12 01:38:53

area= 100PI/2 = 50PI
radius= 50PI ÷ 2 = 25PI

#135 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-12 01:26:46

OOOh So the radius would be 5 .

#136 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-12 01:21:37

5. What is the radius of a half-piece? (ie, where do I need to cut to make two equal halves out of a piece?)

5- The radius stays the same 10 inches.

#137 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 11:25:15

Oh OK so even if they were in half the area stays the same 100 pi .

Thanks Bob big_smile

#138 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 10:05:21

So the same area 100 pi is the answer right?

#139 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 10:02:21

my teacher said:

You should take the problem literally.  What would the area of the "whole pizza be?"

#140 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 06:23:34

#4- What would the area of the whole pizza be if it were made of half pieces?

does't that mean the same original pizza but with 32 pieces ?

#141 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 04:13:27

3- 11.25/360 * pi* 10²= 25/8PI

#142 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 02:54:21

22.5/360 *pi *100= 25/4pi

#143 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 02:44:15

OoH I did that in the beginning I got 22.5

#144 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 00:42:15

4. What would the area of the whole pizza be if it were made of half pieces? it mean the original pizza

#145 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-11 00:39:09

2. What is the area of one piece of pizza?  (10/360)[(PI)10^2] = 25/9 PI No.  You want 1/16 of your answer to part 1.

2- confused isn't the Area of Sector = ½ × (θ × π/180) × r2   (when θ is in degrees)

the degree is 20 right? like I measured it from the circle you drew ½ × (θ × π/180) × r^2=
50/9 PI

#146 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-10 04:35:03

Hi really stuck on these questions I did 3 left with 2 :

I have a pizza. The radius is 10 inches long. The pizza was cut into 16 equal slices. When 1 slice was left, my sister and I both wanted it, so we agreed to cut it in half, but I like the crust more than she does, so we decided to cut it the "other way." In other words, the two pieces would not be symmetrical. The inside piece would contain all topping, and the outer piece would contain some topping and some crust.

1. Find the area of the whole pizza. PI * r² = 100PI

2. What is the area of one piece of pizza?  (10/360)[(PI)10^2] = 25/9 PI

3. What is the area of a half-piece?(5/360)[(PI)10^2] = 25/18 PI

4. What would the area of the whole pizza be if it were made of half pieces?

5. What is the radius of a half-piece? (ie, where do I need to cut to make two equal halves out of a piece?)

#147 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-10 01:01:41

oooh I forgot the x


x²-18x+81

#148 Re: Help Me ! » Area of Squares » 2012-11-10 00:44:35

x²+-9x+-9x+81=

-9x+-9x= -18

x²-18+81

taraaaaaaaaa thank you big_smile
