1/2 ÷10=1/20 because you multiply the bottoms
3÷1/6= 18 because it is the same as 3×6
<span>1st piece: x feet
2nd piece: 8-x feet
--------------------------
Use the "x" piece to form a circle:
Circumference = "x".
2(pi)*radius = x
radius = x/(2pi)
So, Area = pi[x/(2)]^2 = x^2/(4pi) = (1/4pi)x^2
=========================================================
Use the 10-x piece to form square:
side = (1/4pi)(10-x)
Area = side^2 = (1/16)(10-x)^2
Hope this helps! :)</span>
