Question

Given that h=10, b=5, and r=3.8, find the area of the unshaded region. Use 3.14 for π as necessary. All answers are expressed in square units.
A. 70.34
B. 36.93
C. 25
D. 20.34

Answer 1

The area of the circle is found using the formula Area = PI x r^2

The area of a triangle is found using the formula Area = 1/2 x base x height.

Using the given dimensions:

Area of the circle = 3.14 x 3.8^2 = 45.3416 square units.

The area of the triangle is 1/2 x 5 x 10 = 25 square units.

To find the area of the unshaded part, subtract the area of the shaded triangle from the circle:

Area = 45.3416 - 25 = 20.3416

Round to two decimal places = 20.34

The answer is D. 20.34
