Question 13535: this was given to me on a H.w question, I dont even know how to start,ill be glad to get help, thank you..
"In the kitchen, Susan's stove is 36 inches wide by 30 inches deep. She has 4 burners, each with a diameter of 10 inches. Find the area of the stovetop around the burners"

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We know the area of the whole stove top is;
area=lw
area=36(30)=1080
The area of each burner is;
area of circle = pi%28r%29%5E2
We know the diameter of the circle(burners) is 10, so that would make the radius 5.
So area= 3.14%285%29%5E2
area= 78.5
Since we know the whole area is 1080 and each burner is 78.5, we will need to take out the area of each burner from the total area.
78.5(4)=314
1080-314=766
answer= area of stove around burners = 766
Hope this helps
