First you have to have the absolute value isolated so the 2 has to be divided. Then set up the two cases and solve.
Determine the area of the composite figure to the nearest whole number. A) 132 ft2 Eliminate B) 176 ft2 C) 184 ft2 D) 216 ft2
1 answer:
Answer:
B) 176 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture below is the attachment for the complete question. The figure has 3 halves of a circle and a square . The area of the figure is the sum of their area.
Area of a square
area = L²
where
L = length
L = 9 ft
area = 9²
area = 81 ft²
Area of the 3 semi circles
area of a single semi circle = πr²/2
For 3 semi circle = πr²/2 + πr²/2 + πr²/2 or 3 (πr²/2)
r = 9/2 = 4.5
area of a single semi circle = (3.14 × 4.5²)/2
area of a single semi circle = (3.14 × 20.25 ) /2
area of a single semi circle = 63.585 /2
area of a single semi circle = 31.7925
Area for 3 semi circles = 31.7925 × 3 = 95.3775 ft²
Area of the composite figure = 95.3775 ft² + 81 ft² = 176.3775 ft
Area of the composite figure ≈ 176 ft²
