Half of a circle
1 circle=360
1/2 circle=360/2=180
1/2 circle cut into 1/3
180 times 1/3=60
60 degreees
Each ream weighs 5 lb . so, reducing 10 lb means removing 2 reams from the 12. so, how do we arrange the 10 reams so that its easy to carry?
i thinks that 3 stacks will not work as it wont be a symmetric arrangement as 1 will be left out. So, 2 stacks of 5 each would be easy to carry. but the stacks should be placed in such a way that the lengths are parallel to each other and not in-line which would increase the length making it comparatively longer. its easier to hold a (2*8.5,11,2*5=17,11,17)compact box.
Area of circle = pi (d/2)^2
area of semi-circle =0.5* pi (d/2)^2
=0.5* pi (6/2)^2
=14.14
