Question 1057484: An oval athletic field is the union of a square and semicircles at opposite ends, as shown in the figure below (http://www.webassign.net/jmodd7/8-1-034.gif). If the total area of the field is 1,300 square yards, find the dimensions of the square.
So I know that we have to separate the shapes, and assemble the circles. I let S equal the sides of the square, and s also represents the radius, which is half the diameter.
We are given the area, which is 1300. What I don't understand is how to incorporate this into the problem to get the answer. I was provided with a formula, but am not sure how to solve for x.
A=s^2+3.14*(s/2)^2+s^2+(1+3.14/4)
