Question

Find the approximate area of the shaded region below, consisting of a right triangle with a circle cut out of it. Use 3.14 as an approximation for . An image shows a right triangle with a circle cut out of it. The legs that make up the right triangle are both 60 meters. The diameter of the circle cut out is 20 meters.

Answer 1

Answer:B. 1,486 metres

Explanation:

Find the area of the triangle.

60 x 60 = 3600

3600 ÷ 2 = 1800

Area of triangle = 1800 metres

Area of unshaded circle is approximately 314 metres square using pi

1800 - 314 = 1486

1486 metres square is the approximate area of the shaded region.
