Question

Use the figure below to answer the question below.

A. If each square represent one square unit, estimate the area of the shaded figure in square units.


B. Estimate percent of the larger square that is shaded. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

first we need to get the side length of a square.

Area of a square A = L²

1 = L²

L = √1

L = 1 unit

The shaded portion is a circle.

Area of a circle = πd²/4

The diameter of the circle = 4L = 4(1) = 4units

Substitute into the formula;

A =πd²/4

A = π(4)²/4

A = 4(3.14)

A = 12.56inits²

B) The area of the whole shape = Length * width

Length = 6

Width = 6 (6 squares)

Area of the shape = 6*66 = 36units²

Percentage of the area shaded = 21.56/36 * 100

Percentage of the area shaded = 2156/36

Percentage of the area shaded = 59.9%
