Question

Help sorry here’s. A pic

Answer 1

so the sign is made up a rectangular 17x8 piece, and then we cut out a whole with a radius of 2.2 cm, so if we put it on the sidewalk, the sign will end up looking like the one in the picture below.

so if we just get the whole area of the rectangle and then subtract the area of the circle, in effect making a hole in it, what's leftover is their difference.

`\stackrel{\textit{\LARGE Areas}}{\stackrel{rectangle}{(17)(8)}~~ - ~~\stackrel{circle}{\pi (2.2)^2}} \implies 136-4.84\pi ~~ \approx ~~ \text{\LARGE 121}~cm^2`
