Verizon [17]

The answer is: "40 cm " .
_________________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>:
_________________________________________________________

$\frac{200 ft }{ (x) cm} = \frac{5}{1}$ ;

Solve for "x" (in "cm" ) ;

→ 5x = 200 * 1 ;

→ 5x = 200 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "5" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→ 5x / 5 = 200 / 5 ;

to get:

→ x = 40 .

Find the area of the shaded region.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

pi × 18cm^2

Or approximately,

56.52cm^2 (using 3.14 for pi)

56.5487cm^2 (using pi button on calculator)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is pi times [radius squared].

All circles are 360°.

Problem can be solved by finding area of whole circle, and then using ratios.

Whole Circle: area = pi × (9cm)^2 = pi × 81cm^2

80° / 360° = Area[shaded] / (pi × 81cm^2)

pi × 18cm^2 = Area[shaded]
