Area of Composite Figure Question 1 A math and science museum recently installed a door that features a stained glass topper as shown. What is the area of the topper? Responses A 2π 2π ft 2 B 4π 4π ft 2 C 12π 12π ft 2 D 16π 16π ft 2 Question 2 To the nearest tenth, what is the total area of the door with the topper? Responses A A = 38.3 A = 38.3 ft 2 B A = 48.6 A = 48.6 ft 2 C A = 72.3 A = 72.3 ft 2 D A = 78.4 A = 78.4 ft 2
For question 1, the correct answer is B. 4π ft 2.
For question 2, the correct answer is D. A = 78.4 ft 2.
you sure?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's reevaluate the questions:
Question 1:
The topper appears to be a semi-circle, which means the formula for the area would be A = 1/2 * π * r^2, where r is the radius of the semi-circle. From the diagram, it looks like the radius is 2 feet.
Calculating the area using A = 1/2 * π * (2)^2:
A = 1/2 * π * 4
A = 2π
Therefore, the correct answer for question 1 is A. 2π ft^2.
Question 2:
To calculate the total area of the door with the topper, you need to add the area of the rectangle portion of the door to the area of the topper (semi-circle). The rectangle's dimensions are given as 6 ft by 6.4 ft.
Area of rectangle = length * width = 6 * 6.4 = 38.4 ft^2
Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of topper
Total area = 38.4 + 2π
Approximating π to 3.14, we get:
Total area = 38.4 + 2(3.14) = 38.4 + 6.28 = 44.68 ft^2
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the total area is approximately 44.7 ft^2.
So, the correct answer for question 2 is B. A = 44.7 ft^2.
you 100% sure?
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's reevaluate the questions one more time:
Question 1:
The stained glass topper is in the shape of a semicircle. The formula for the area of a semicircle is A = 1/2 * π * r^2, where r is the radius of the semicircle. From the diagram, it looks like the radius is 2 feet.
Calculating the area using A = 1/2 * π * (2)^2:
A = 1/2 * π * 4
A = 2π
Therefore, the correct answer for question 1 is A. 2π ft^2.
Question 2:
To calculate the total area of the door with the topper, we need to add the area of the rectangle portion of the door to the area of the topper (semicircle). The rectangle's dimensions are given as 6 ft by 6.4 ft.
Area of rectangle = length * width = 6 * 6.4 = 38.4 ft^2
Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle
Total area = 38.4 + 2π
Approximating π to 3.14, we get:
Total area = 38.4 + 2(3.14) = 38.4 + 6.28 = 44.68 ft^2
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the total area is approximately 44.7 ft^2.
So, the correct answer for question 2 is B. A = 44.7 ft^2.
Thank you for prompting the double-check.
