Answer:

(1/4)π(42²) + π(21²) = 441π + 441π =

882π square inches.

882π or 2770.88 in²

=================

Calculate the area of the quadrant and the areas of the two semicircles and then add these areas together.


A quadrant is one-fourth of a circle. It has a radius of 42 in.

The two semi-circles add up to a full circle of a diameter of 42 in.

Use the area formula for circle of radius r:

  • A = πr²

We can use A(q) and A(s) for the area of the quadrant and semi-circle, then calculate the full area as follows:

  • A(q) + 2*A(s) =
  • (1/4)*π*42² + π*(42/2)² =
  • π*(42/2)² + π*(42/2)² =
  • 2π*21² =
  • 882π ≈ 2770.88 in²
