Find the area of the shaded region. Use 3.14 for at as necessary. PLEASE HELP ASAP!! A. 53.5cm^2
B. 132 cm^2
C. 26.8 cm^2
D. 17.1 cm^2

9514 1404 393

  A. 53.5cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the circle is ...

  A = πr²

  A = 3.14(5 cm)² = 78.5 cm²

The area of the triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(10 cm)(5 cm) = 25 cm²

The shaded area is the difference between the circle area and the triangle area:

  shaded = 78.5 cm² -25 cm² = 53.5 cm²

Additional comment

As with many multiple-choice questions, you can simply pick the answer that is not outlandish. The circle will fit into a square that is 10 cm on a side, so its total area is less than 100 cm² (eliminates choice B).

The shaded area is definitely more than 1/4 of that 100 cm² square, so choices C and D are eliminated, too. The only choice that is not unreasonable is choice A.

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.
