Question

2. Find the area in square meters of the figure below? Use 3.14 for. 6m

Answer 1

Answer:

in order to find the area, we should break up the figure. you can see that in the image we have a quarter of a circle and a square. here are the areas for each of these shapes

square:

$area = {x}^{2}$

circle:

$area = \pi {r}^{2}$

but since we only have a quarter of this circle we need to divide the area by 4 so the formula becomes

$\frac{\pi {r}^{2} }{4}$

now we can plug in our numbers

we are given 6 m for our radius or length of square

the square will be (6)^2 = 36 m^2

now onto our circle

π(6)^2/4 = 28.26 m^2

now add these two shapes together to find the total area = 64.26 m^2
