Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   8 (Pi - sqrt(3))

Discussion:

The area of the shaded region is that of the semicircle minus the area of the triangle..


Area of semicircle = 1/2 * Pi * R^2        

    Where R^2 is the square of the radius of the circle. In our case, R ( = OC)

     = 4 so the semicircle area is

    (1/2) * Pi * (4^2) = (1/2) * Pi * 16 = 8 Pi


Area of triangle.

   First of all, angle ACB is a right angle ( i.e. 90 degrees).

     * This is the Theorem of Thales from elementary Plane Geometry. *

  so by Pythagoras

    AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2

 But CB = 4 (given) and AB = 4*2 = 8 ( the diameter is twice the radius).

 Substituting these in Pythagoras gives

    AC^2 + 4^2 = 8^2 or

    AC^2 = 8^2 - 4^2- = 64 - 16 = 48

    Hence AC = sqrt(48) = sqrt (16*3) = 4 * sqrt(3)

We are almost done! The area of the triangle is given by

   (1/2) b * h = (1/2)  BC * AC = (1/2) 4 * (4 * sqrt(3)) =  8 sqrt(3)

We conclude the area area of the shaded part is

  8 PI - 8 sqrt(3)   = 8 (Pi - sqrt(3))

Note that sqrt(3) is approx  1.7 so (PI - sqrt(3)) is a positive number, as it better well be!


Thank you,

MrB

Find the height of the rectangular prism given the volume, length, and width.
Elden [556K]
The answer is 70cm for the height because you would multiply 50cm x 35cm and you would get 1750. Then you would divide that by 122,500 and you will get the height

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

6x^2-10

Step-by-step explanation:

You add like terms. All the x^2 you add them and you add together the ones that are not multiplied by x. Make sure to distribute the negative.
