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
