Question

What is the area of the shaded part of the circle that has a diameter of 8 mm? Use 3.14 for Pi.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 34.24 mm²

Explanation:

Data

diameter = 8 mm

height = 4 mm

Process

1.- Calculate the area of the triangle

Area = (1/2)(base x height)

Area = (1/2)(8 x 4)

Area = (1/2)(32)

Area = 16 mm²

2.- Calculate the area of the circle

Area = πr²

Area = (3.14)(4)²

Area = 50.24 mm²

3.- Calculate the area of the shaded area

Area = 50.24 - 16

Area = 34.24 mm²
