Question 132152: Find the area of the circle.
Theres a square with a circle inside of it, but the cirlce is small enought to where you are still able to see the square. Only the corners of each side kind of like a triangel but where its not straight on the bottom, but rounded. You have to fing the area if the perimeter of square = 144 ft
What do you do? how do you find the area if you only have the perimeter and nothing else?

thank you, very much!

Question 134188: Find the area and perimeter of the shaded region.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
note: The radius of the circle is 4.
What I've done:
I know you have to find the area of the small unshaded seg. by doing A seg. = Asec.-A triangle. Then you need to find the area of the semi-circle created by the shaded area and the segment. Then if you subtract the area of the segment from the area of the semi-circle you get the area of the shaded region. I just don't get how to find the area of the semi circle and I don't know what to input into the formula for finding the area of the SEGMENT.
I also have no clue how to find the perimeter of the shaded area!
PLEASE HELP!
