No it can’t because a square is not a circle and their is no way for it to become a circle
40 % = 16 hours
100 % = 40 hours, the nurse works for 40 hours.
this can be proven by 40% of 40 is 16.
Half the length of the curve which separates the 2 halves = 1/2 circumference of a circle with diameter 6 mm. = 1/2 * pi * d = 3pi mm
So the length of the line = 6pi = 18.85 mm to nearest hundredth. answer
The area of shaded region = 1/2 area of the circle = 1/2 pi r^2
= 1/2 * pi * 6^2
= 56.55 mm^2 to nearest hundredth answer
The first step I would take is
.. Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/4.
_____
You could start by adding 16 to both sides of the equation, to make the left side the square (2x +4)^2.
