document.write( "Question 246096: I am to find a polynomial for the remaining area of a rectangular shaped corral measuring 23m by 17m, after a circular based silo of x meters is built inside of it. Thus far, I have A=23m X 17m - nr^2. Is this correct? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #179742 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is x the diameter of the silo or the radius? \n" ); document.write( "if x is the radius then the silo takes up pi x^2 \n" ); document.write( "if x is the diameter then the silo takes up pi *(x/2)^2 \n" ); document.write( "We have 23*17=391 sq meters for the corral without the silo \n" ); document.write( "A=391-pi * x^2 \n" ); document.write( "or \n" ); document.write( "A=391-pi *(x/2)^2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
