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

Considering the definition of least common multiple, this means that smallest number of packages of each they can buy is 60.

<h3>Least common multiple</h3>

A number is a multiple of another when it contains it exactly n times. In other words, the multiples of a number are the ones you get when you multiply one number by another.

The least common multiple allows us to know what is the smallest number that is a multiple of a certain set of numbers.

One procedure for calculating the least common multiple is to break each number into prime factors. Then the common and uncommon factors are raised to the highest exponent, which must be multiplied.

<h3 /><h3>Smallest number of packages</h3>

To calculate the smallest number of packages of each they can buy, you calculate the least common multiple.

First, the decomposition of the numbers into prime factors is carried out:

15= 3×5

12= 2×2×3= 2²×3

Then, the least common multiple is calculated as 2²×3×5

Solving, the least common multiple between 12 and 15 is 60.

Finally, this means that smallest number of packages of each they can buy is 60.
