volume_muteArea is in cm2
Correct Answer
Explanation
First you need to visualize the shape and recognize it in basic shapes that have rules to find the areas
This is a shape of 3 halves of circles
The first shape, let's call it shape A has a diameter of 3 cm and its radius is 1.5
The second shape, let's call it shape B has a diameter of 7 cm and its radius is 3.5
The third shape, let's call it shape C has a diameter of 10 cm, which is the sum of 3 + 7 and its radius is 5
So what you need to do is to find the area of shapes using the following equations:
Area of Shape A = (π * 1.52) / 2 ---> (1) (shaded in red)
Area of Shape B = (π * 3.52) / 2 ---> (2)
Area of Shape C = (π * 52) / 2 ---> (3)
Subtract result of equation (2) from result in equation (3) to get the area shaded in grey
Then add that result to the area of shape A and you get the result.
So, let's solve it
equation (1) = 3.5325 cm2
equation (2) = 19.2325 cm2
equation (3) = 39.25 cm2
Shape Area = equation (3) - equation (2) + equation (1) = 39.25 - 19.2325 + 3.5325 = 23.56
Note: You may get some approximations while you calculate, which may differ a little pit from the answer, but should be just in a fraction of a decimal
