Answer:

14.25 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle area is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2bh

Here, the base is 10 yd, and the height is 5 yd, so ...

triangle area = (1/2)(10 yd)(5 yd) = (5 yd)^2 = 25 yd^2

The semicircle is half the area of a circle with radius 5 yd, so its area is ...

semicircle area = (1/2)π(5 yd)^2 = 12.5π yd^2 ≈ 39.25 yd^2

The shaded region is the difference between these areas:

shaded area = 39.25 yd^2 -25 yd^2 = 14.25 yd^2

To obtain the area of a sector, what fraction is multiplied by the area of a circle (A = πr2)?

romanna [79]

Let r be a radius of a given circle and α be an angle, that corresponds to a sector.

The circle area is $A=\pi r^2$ and denote the sector area as $A_1$ .
Then $\dfrac{A_1}{A}= \dfrac{\alpha}{2\pi}$ (the ratio between area is the same as the ratio between coresponding angles).

$A_1=\dfrac{\alpha}{2\pi} \cdot A=\dfrac{\alpha}{2\pi} \cdot \pi r^2= \dfrac{r^2\alpha}{2}$ .
