Question 1143512: A symmetrical cross of thickness 12cm is to be cut out from a piece of cardboard
of radius 20cm. what percent of the area of the cardboard is considered as waste? Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
I see the "symmetrical cross of thickness 12 cm" as being made up of five squares, each with side length 12cm. The area of the cross is 5*12^2 = 720 square cm.
