Q:

A 3×10, rectangle sits inside a circle with radius of 12. What is the area of the shaded region? Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Accepted Solution

A:
 The area of the circle for this case is given by:
 [tex]A1 = \pi * r ^ 2 [/tex]Where,
 r: radius of the circle.
 Substituting values we have:
 [tex]A1 = \pi * (12) ^ 2 A1 = 452.3893421[/tex]
 The area of the rectangle is given by:
 [tex] A2 = (w) * (l) [/tex]
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 Substituting values we have:
 [tex]A2 = (3) * (10) A2 = 30[/tex]
 The area of the shaded region is:
 [tex]A1 - A2 = 452.3893421 - 30 A1 - A2 = 422.3893421[/tex]
 Rounding off we have:
 [tex]A1 - A2 = 422.39 [/tex]
 Answer:
 The area of the shaded region is:
 A1 - A2 = 422.39
