Scott wants to buy fencing to place around a semicircular rock garden The diameter of the semicircle is 16 feet Using 3.14 for p
1 answer:
The diameter of the semicircle is 16 feet.
He calculates that he needs to buy abut 25.12 feet of fencing.
To find amount of fencing we find the circumference of semicircle
Circumference of semicircle =
Where d is the diameter of the circle
d= 16 given and value of pi is 3.14
Circumference of semicircle =
=25.12 + 16 = 41.12 feet
Scott's calculation was wrong because he forgot to add the diameter d
Circumference of circle is half way of circle plus the diameter of circle.
Correct amount of fencing = 41.12 feet

Answer:
16) 62.8 m²
17) 19.4 m²
18) 103.5 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find area of a circle is: . To find radius, find the half of the diameter.
To solve number 16, first find the area of the unshaded circle using the formula: . This is also 3.14*16. Multiply to get 50.24 m². Now find the area of the larger circle using the formula:
. This is also 3.14*36. Multiply to get 113.04 m². Now subtract 113.04 - 50.24 to get the shaded area or 62.8 m².
To solve number 17, first find the area of the square using the formula: side x side. In this case multiply: 5.25 x 5.25 to get 27.5625. Round to the nearest tenth to get 27.6 m². Now find the area of the circle using the formula: . This is also 3.14*2.625. Multiply to get 8.2425. Round to the nearest tenth to get 8.2. Subtract 27.6 - 8.2 to get 19.4 m².
To solve number 18, find the area of one unshaded circle using the formula: . This is also 3.14*3.0625. Multiply to get 9.61625. Round to the nearest tenth to get 9.6 m². Add 9.6 + 9.6 to find the area of both unshaded circles. You get 19.2 m². Now find the area of the shaded circle using the formula:
. This is also 3.14*39.0625. Multiply to get 122.65625. Round to the nearest tenth: 122.7. Subtract 122.7 - 19.2 to get 103.5 m².
Hope it helps and is correct!
