Answer:

\pi =3.160494

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the circle with a diameter of 9 units

we know that

The area of a circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=9/2=4.5\ units ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

A=\pi (4.5)^{2}

A=20.25\pi\ units^2

step 2

Find the area of a square with a side length of 8 units

we know that

The area of the square is

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

b=8\ units

substitute

A=(8)^2=64\ units^2

step 3

Equate the areas

20.25\pi=64

solve for \pi

\pi =\frac{64}{20.25}=3.160494

Answer:

Gọi AH là đường cao kẻ từ A đến BC

Xét tam giác AHC vuông tại H

Suy ra AH = HC. cotA= 9.cot35° = 12,9

Xét tam giác AHB vuông tại H

Suy ra BH = AH.tanA = 12,9.tan61°=23,37

Ta có BC= HC+ HB= 9+23,27 =32,27

Diện tích tam giác ABC = 1/2 × AH ×BC= 1/2 ×12,9×32,27=208,1415
