The Formula for the Area of a Circle

1 pts
volume_mute

When a circle is cut into many equal pie-shaped pieces and rearranged, the result resembles a parallelogram whose base is half the circumference and whose height equals the radius.

rrb = ½C = ½(2πr) = πrA = b × h = πr × r = πr²

The area of a circle with radius \(r\) is given by the formula:

\[A = \pi r^2\]

In the expression \(\pi r^2\), what operations are indicated?

Find the Radius from the Diameter

1 pts
volume_mute

Before computing the area of the circle below, the radius must be found. The diameter is labeled on the figure.

10 cmdiameter = 2 × radius

Since the length of the diameter is 10 cm and the diameter is twice the length of the radius, what is the radius?

Helicopter Landing Pad – Area and Cost of Paint

3 pts
volume_mute

Orange paint is available in gallon containers at $19 each, and each gallon covers 375 ft². A circular helicopter landing pad has a diameter of 60 feet. How much will it cost to paint the pad?

r = 30 ftOd = 60 ftA = πr² = π(30)² = 900π ft²

How many gallons of paint must be purchased, and what is the total cost?

Complete the Area Formulas

3 pts

Drag the correct expression into each placeholder.

rFull circle:A = πr²Semicircle:A = ½πr²Composite figure total (Example 4 structure):A = A(triangle) + A(smaller semicircle) + A(larger semicircle)

Full circle area: \(A = \pi\) × (1)

Semicircle area: \(A = \) (2) \(\times \pi r^2\)

In the 6–8–10 composite figure:
Triangle area = ½ × 6 × 8 = (3) in²
Smaller semicircle (\(r=4\)) area = (4) \(\pi\) in²
Larger semicircle (\(r=5\)) area = (5) \(\pi\) in²
