The formula for finding the area of the circle works because they made it especially for it. I don’t really know how else to describe it, it simply just works.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we divide the circle into  a large number of sectors and line them up in a straight line it will be close to a rectangle .

The area of the rectangle will be approximately the area of the circle.

If we have an infinite number of these sectors we get a rectangle whose width is the radius r of the circle. We know that the circumference of a circle is equal to 2πr, so our rectangle  will be πr long and r wide. Area = πr*r = πr^2.

Draw a circle and  try deriving the rectangle as above and it  should be clearer.

Hope this helps.

What's the length of side b in the figure below? I posted a picture so you can view the actual problem. Please help.
svetoff [14.1K]

we know that

in the right triangle of the figure

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

13^{2} =b^{2} +7^{2} \\ b^{2} =13^{2}-7^{2}\\ b^{2}=120\\ b=\sqrt{120} \ cm

therefore

the answer is the option

C) b=\sqrt{120} \ centimeters
