Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if you connect the 2 pointy parts of this shape at the top, what you have is a square. That means that the cut out part is a half circle. To find the area of the shaded portion, subtract the area of the half circle from the area of the square. Let's start with the square, cuz that's the super easy one.
A = s*s so
A = 64 in squared.
Now for the half circle. Let's just do this: let's find the area of the whole circle and then cut it in half, how about?
If the length of one of the sides is 8, then half that length is 4, right? Since the circle is touching the sides of the square, the diameter of the circle is the same as the measure of the side of the square. That means that the radius is 4. The area for the circle is
and filling in:
so
A = 50.24 in squared. Divide that in half and the area of half the circle is 25.12 in squared.
Subtract 25.12 from 64 to get 38.88 in squared
