Algebra.Com's Answer #187948 by edjones(8007)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the perimeter is 100 the sides are 25 each. \n" ); document.write( "The diagonals are perpendicular and meet in the center of the circle. \n" ); document.write( "There is a right triangle with a side of 40/2=20 and hypotenuse of 25. \n" ); document.write( "20^2+b^2=25^2 \n" ); document.write( "400+b^2=625 \n" ); document.write( "b^2=225 \n" ); document.write( "b=15 \n" ); document.write( "(15*20)/2=150 sq cm Area of triangle. \n" ); document.write( "Draw a line from the right angle, which is also the center of the circle, perpendicular to the hypotenuse and label it x. \n" ); document.write( "25x/2=150 \n" ); document.write( "25x=300 \n" ); document.write( "x=12 radius of the circle. \n" ); document.write( "pi*12^2=144pi sq cm area of the circle. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Ed \n" ); document.write( " |
