document.write( "Question 310945: Will you please help me with this word problem? I don't understand how to use pi and write formulas from these problems. A semicircular window of radius 10 inches is to be laminated with a sunblock coating that costs .85 per square inch to apply. What is the total cost of coating the window, to the nearest cent? (use pi=3.14. hint: area of circle is A=pi r^2) \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember \"pi\" is just a number. There's nothing magical about it.
\n" ); document.write( "You're charged by the area for the coating so calculate the area of the window.
\n" ); document.write( "If it was a whole circle, the area would be \"A=pi%2Ar%5E2\". Since it's 1/2 a window (semi-circle) the area would be half that \"A=%281%2F2%29pi%2Ar%5E2\"
