18.75?

18 3/4

Area of a circle is pr^2. No?

The diagram in the OP is above my pay grade.

18.75

Not sure the significance of the 2.8213, but assuming that’s the radius I come up with 24.99.

Does the top line meet the to of the circle?

Does the bottom horizontal line equally bisect the circle?

Don't believe you can solve unless those assumptions are made??

Exactly 6.71 square cobbywobbles.

Solve for cosine of 30*, with hypotenuse being 2.8213= 2.441, which is radius of the cricle.

Area of the circle = Pi x r squared = 18.76

MM

Sine(30) x/2.8213, opposit leg =1.41
now Need adjac which will be radi 2.4

Area of circl pi*r^2 = 18.70

Cash;
Good morning my cyber friend, I hope the day out east is treating you all well.

We've got a very plus sized bird almost thawed and it'll be going into the oven in a couple hours here, as we're doing the feast for family along with extended family and a young friend of the son-in-law's who came up from Seattle to enjoy our world famous "Okanagan Champagne Powder" snow - which isn't there yet.

Anyways Cash, your math quiz reminded me of the last time I needed to ascertain the weight of a length of concrete pipe in order to decide how it was going to be rigged for the crane.

At that point in my working life, the cabinet shop I'd been running for absentee owners who stopped paying their bills was forced to shut it's doors, so I'd been offered work as a Hiab crane truck driver, but first I had to take an online certification course in order to begin the apprenticeship process.

The online course was challenging for sure, as was the required application to become part of the Teamster's Union since that was part of it too.

As it turned out Cash, the manager who hired me did not consult the 71 year old driver who I'd have to apprentice with. When I met him, it became obvious he was going to be a bit of a hurdle in a number of ways. Apparently in his mind he was going to live forever and work a wee bit longer than that.

Furthermore, when we got into the loaded truck and I asked him what I felt was a "yes or no" question and a fairly simple one at that, his response was something like, "Look either you know how to do this or you don't. It's not my damn job to train you or anyone else got it?"

I was younger then Cash, in my early 50's and having run a mid sized shop, dealt with employees, customers, owners and suppliers in good to very suboptimal circumstances, I likely could have chosen a more charitable reply than something like, "Okay, no problem, it's your funeral"....

That run went well in that we both survived it, but as it turned out the Teamsters didn't accept my application because someone or a couple "someone's" grieved me being hired by the manager and that as they say Cash - was that.

Thanks for stirring up that memory this morning Cash and thanks as well for reading my rendition of it.

Merry Christmas to you all and all the best in the New Year.

18.754719


1.41065 = 2.8213 × sin(30)
= √2.8213^2 - 1.41065^2
= √5.9698002675
= 2.44332

18.754719 = 2π2.44332^2

A = pi * [2.8213*COS 30]^2 = 18.75

Merry Christmas is the actually correct answer...

Not 18.75

The radius is NOT 2.442

Although the orange line is parallel to the black line (i.e. Diameter)... it not meant to indicate radius.

2.8213 devided by 2 times root of 3=radius
18.75 area

Does this help?



Merry Christmas!
