A thin piece of wire 40 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is used to form a circle with radius r, and the other is u

sed to form a square. No wire is left over. Which of the following represents the total area, in square meters, of the circular and the square regions in terms of r?
A. pi*r^2
B. pi*r^2 + 10
C. pi*r^2 + 1/4*pi^2*r^2
D. pi*r^2 + (40 - 2\pi*r)^2
E. pi*r^2 + (10 - 1/2*pi*r)^2

<h3>Answer: choice E</h3><h3>total area = pi*r^2 + (10 - (1/2)pi*r)^2</h3>

==========================

How I got that answer:

Draw out a line segment and label it to be 40 meters long. Somewhere in the middle (not the exact midpoint necessarily), draw a cutting line to divide the segment into two (not necessarily equal) parts. The first part is x units long. The remaining bit is 40-x units long. See the attached image below. The drawing is optional, but it might help to visually see how the two parts interact.

------------

The wire that is x units long is used to form a circle of radius r. The question is: what is x in terms of r?

The circumference of the circle of radius r is

C = 2*pi*r

If we cut the circle and unroll it out into a straight line, then its perimeter or circumference will stretch into a line of length 2*pi*r. So this must be the length of x.

x = 2*pi*r

-----------

The value of 40-x is then

40-x = 40-2pi*r

which will be used to form the square.

The total perimeter of the square is P = 4*s, where s is the side length. Solving for s gets to

s = P/4

Plug in P = (40-2pi*r) and simplify

s = P/4

s = (40-2pi*r)/4

s = 40/4-(2pi*r)/4

s = 40/4-(2/4)pi*r

s = 10 - (1/2)pi*r

----------

We know the side length of the square, which can be used to find the area of the square

A = area of square

A = s^2

A = (10-(1/2)*pi*r)^2

----------

M = area of circle = pi*r^2

N = area of square = (10-(1/2)*pi*r)^2

total area = M+N

total area = pi*r^2 + (10-(1/2)*pi*r)^2

01.01 LC)Which number line best shows how to solve −2 − ( −6)?
liraira [26]

Answer:

-6 - (-8) = 2.

Your number line might have a bubble at 2. Or it may show movement 8 units to the right of -6. Whatever it is, you should end up at the value of 2.
