blessedmom3 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Can't figure this out. How did they get 10 for the radius? I cannot attach the pic. It's SM 6B textbook page 51 exercise 40. Thanks for anyone who is willing to take the time and help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forty-two Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The side of the square is the radius of the circle, and the side of the square is given as 10cm. It took me a minute to figure out how the curved lines formed two quarter circles - it helped me to visualize putting four of the given squares together into a big square and making one big circle out of the four quarter sections to see it. Does that make any sense? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
