MHB Find Area Problem in Multiple Choice Question

AI Thread Summary
To find the area of the shaded blue region, subtract the area of the circle from the area of the square. The area of a square with side length 10 is 100 cm², while the area of a circle with a diameter of 10 is approximately 78.54 cm². The calculation results in a blue area of about 21.5 cm². This method effectively clarifies how to approach similar area problems. The final answer of 21.5 cm² is confirmed as correct.

Hi susanto3311! :)

What is the area of a square with side 10?
And a circle with diameter 10?

The blue area is the area of the square minus the area of the circle.

A square with side $s$ has area $s^2$.
A circle with diameter $d$ has area $\frac 1 4 \pi d^2$.

What would you get if you calculate those?

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
