Question

Find the area of the shaded region to the nearest tenth. See picture for full problem. Please and thank you so very much!

Answer 1

66.3 sq ft

Explanation:

Here's the plan: we'll find the area of the circle then subtract the area of the triangle.

Area of circle:

A = pi•r^2

= pi•6^2

= 3.14•36

~= 113.04

Area of triangle:

A = 1/2bh

= 1/2(10.39)(9)

The height is the 6+3 in the image.

~= 46.755

Subtract to find

Area of Shaded:

113.04 - 46.755

= 66.285

Round to nearest tenth.

~= 66.3 sq ft
