Question 209636: Drawing: Rectangle containing 8 circles of equal size (4 on top row, 4 on bottom row)
Problem: Find the area of the rectangle if the radius of each circle is 3
What I know: The area of a circle is A=IIr^2 / A=3.14 x 3^2 / A=3.14 x 9 / A=28.26 so the area of the 8 circles would be 28.26 x 8=226.08, but is that really the area of the rectangle that contains the circles? Is there a formula for finding this answer?
Thank you for your help!

Question 211114: This isn't really a math homework question, but I need it for measuring a dress.
I need to cut out a circle with a 35 inch circumfrence for the bust of the dress. I don't know the radius or diameter, just that one measurment. Is there any way you can help?

Question 211733: A square barn measures 14 meters on each side. A goat is tethered outside by a rope that is attached to one corner of the barn. The rope is 8 meters long.
Suppose the rope is made twice as long. On how many sqaure meters of land is the goat now able to graze?
Lastly, an addition to the barn was built making it rectangular with dimensions 14 by 20 meters. On how many square meters of land is the goat now able to graze?

Question 206837: Could someone tell me if this is right?
Problem; What is the equation of the ellipse with foci at (0,-4) and (0,4) and the sum of its focal radii being 10?
My answer; 2a=10 a=5 (sum of focal radii)
(0+0/2, (4+4/2)= (0,4)
c=4 b^2=a^2-c^2=25-16=9
equation of the ellipse is;
(x-0)^2/25+(y-4)^2/9=1

Question 215925: I have a square that is inscribed into a circle. The area of the square is 64 square centimeters. I need to find the area of the shaded portion of the circle. The square touches the circle at each corner. Between each corner, there is the shaded area (from corner to corner to the outside edge of the circle.
I hope this makes sense.

Question 220101: I've tried this a couple different ways, but the answer wasn't right.
I know that the standard equation for a circle with the center at the origin is
X^2 + Y^2= r^2
but I can't figure out how to find the radius.
Center at origin and containing the point (-2,3)
I've tried using the midpoint formula, distance formula and also inputing the given point into the standard equation for which I got 15. But I'm supposed to end up with 13 for the radius. What am I doing wrong?

Question 232525: Find the circumference of a circle 3.75 ft. Use 3.14 pi and round your answer to one decimal place. I really do not understand how to solve this question. Do I multiply 3.14 with 3.75? I come up with an answer of 1177.50. If this is correct, how then do I convert this answer into ft? Do I move the decimal to 11.77 and the answer is 11.77 ft? Please any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Question 233317: Two circles, both with the diameter 1.2 meter are placed so that there centers are 0.6 meter apart from each other. How big area does the two circles cover? I have tried to write a picture over it and tried with the formulas for sectors and segments but I can't come up with the right answer. I know it's about 1.82 squaremeters but an explanation would be great.
thanks
