Find the area of the rectangle and the 1/2 circle, then subtract the half circle's area from the rectangle's.
Area of the rectangle is 30in.
Area of the 1/2 circle is 19.625.
Subtract
30-19.625
10.375
(Round it to 10.4 in this case)
Just work this problem out backwards. First write out an equation.
(x+4)•3=30
Now solve :
(x+4)•3=30
3x+12=30
-12 -12
3x=18
/3 /3
x=6
Your answer is 6!
Hoped I helped!
(a)The amount of soil he had last week
(b) p/2+4=28
(c) 12 because
(d) 12
Y=8
your teacher is introducing algebra
Most of the information's required for solving the question is already given in the question.
Height of the building that casts a shadow of 20 m = 32 m
Then
Height of the man that casts a shadow of 1.2 m = (32/20) * 1.2 meter
= 3.2 * 1.2 meter
= 3.84 meter
So the actual height of the person casting a shadow of 1.2 meter is 3.84 meters. I hope that the procedure used for solving the problem is easy enough for you to understand. You can definitely use this method in future for solving problems of similar type without requiring any additional help from outside.
