You can put this solution on YOUR website!
From your gram, it looks like\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the shaded small half circle on the right has\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the same size as the small blank half circle on the left.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That means, the whole shaded area is actually half of\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the big circle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of a circle is \"pi%2Ar%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "half of it is \"1%2F2%2Api%2Ar%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is r then?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The diameter of the small circle is the radius of big circle,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so r=8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now plug in r, we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area = \"1%2F2%2A3.14%2A8%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= 100.5
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is 100.5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
