The ones you can throw out are
B (second one down) E

By a very slim margin (like the thickness of a piece of paper), you could take out C. Technically, it is the value under the root sign which means you find b^2 and subtract 4ac from it. Your teacher may not agree. It is a very thin definition.

So what are we left with? Unfortunately A and D are both correct.
Answer AD and 1/2 of C <<<< answer.

The figure consists of a quarter circle and a parallelogram. What is the area of the composite figure? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to

Andru [333]

The area of a full circle is given by
A = π*r^2
so the area of a 1/4 circle will be 1/4 of that:
A = (π/4)*r^2

The area of a parallelogram is the product of base length and height:
A = bh

Your composite figure will have an area that is the sum of the areas of the parts.
A = (quarter circle area) + (parallelogram area)
A ≈ (3.14/4)*(14 in)^2 +(14 in)*(5 in)
A ≈ 223.86 in^2 ≈ 224 in^2

The most appropriate selection is the last one,
224 in^2
