Answer:
The area of the shaded portion of the figure is
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The shaded area is equal to the area of the square less the area not shaded.
There are 4 "not shaded" regions.
step 1
Find the area of square ABCD
The area of square is equal to

where
b is the length side of the square
we have

substitute

step 2
We can find the area of 2 "not shaded" regions by calculating the area of the square less two semi-circles (one circle):
The area of circle is equal to

The diameter of the circle is equal to the length side of the square
so
---> radius is half the diameter
substitute


Therefore, the area of 2 "not-shaded" regions is:

and the area of 4 "not-shaded" regions is:

step 3
Find the area of the shaded region
Remember that the area of the shaded region is the area of the square less 4 "not shaded" regions:
so
---> exact value
assume

substitute
Mathematically, that is 12(8+t). Distribute the 12, and you get 96 + 12t, or 12t + 96.
9 1/8
4/8+5/8=9/8=1 1/8
5+3=8
8+1 1/8=9 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you can solve this question now
What you would do is change all the fractions to 20ths so they have a common denominator. For 1/5, you multiply 4x5 to get 20 in the denominator. Whatever you multiply on the bottom, you must do at the top. Do that for all fractions and you would get this:
4/20 + 5/20 + 8/20= 17/20 because denominator stays the same, add the values in the numerator.
ANSWER: 17/20
