Answer:
Robert Recorde.
Step-by-step explanation:
Robert Recorde was a Welsh known for vast knowledge and experience in the field of mathematics and physics. He was born in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales during the Medieval period (c. 1512).
Robert Recorde was famously known for his work in the field of mathematics and most especially, the invention of the equal to (=) sign. He introduced it in his book titled "The Whetstone of Witte."
<em>Hence, Robert Recorde was the first english mathematician who first used the modern symbol of equality in 1557. </em>
The hypotenuse would be square root of 41

Answer:
A. 53.5cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the circle is ...
A = πr²
A = 3.14(5 cm)² = 78.5 cm²
The area of the triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(10 cm)(5 cm) = 25 cm²
The shaded area is the difference between the circle area and the triangle area:
shaded = 78.5 cm² -25 cm² = 53.5 cm²

<em>Additional comment</em>
As with many multiple-choice questions, you can simply pick the answer that is not outlandish. The circle will fit into a square that is 10 cm on a side, so its total area is less than 100 cm² (eliminates choice B).
The shaded area is definitely more than 1/4 of that 100 cm² square, so choices C and D are eliminated, too. The only choice that is not unreasonable is choice A.
