What is the area of a reuleaux triangle that has a diameter of 4 in.? round answer to the nearest hundredth.

  11.28 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a Reuleaux triange is given by ...

  A = (1/2)(π -√3)d² . . . . . where d is the diameter of the triangle.

For a triangle of diameter 4 in, the area is ...

  A = (1/2)(π -√3)(4 in)² = (π -√3)8 in² ≈ 11.28 in²

_____

A Reuleaux triangle is the shape of smallest area that has a constant diameter. The diameter of the shape is the radius of each of the arcs between the vertices of the inscribed equilateral triangle.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

236 cm 16 time 12 = 192

6 times 7 = 42

192+42
