Answer:
49 - 9π
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of white portion = area of triangle - area of circle
To find the area of the triangle:
The area of a triangle can be calculated using this formula
[tex]A=\frac{bh}{2}[/tex] where b = base length and h = height
The height given is 7m and the base length given is 14m
That being said we plug in the given values into the formula
[tex]\frac{14*7}{2} \\14*7=98\\\frac{98}{2} =49[/tex]
Hence, the area of the triangle is 49 sq meters.
To find the area of circle
( note that the area is in terms of pi; shown by the answer choices. )
Formula for area of a circle = [tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
We are given the diameter ( 6m )
However, we need the radius
To convert diameter to radius we divide by 2
6/2 = 3 so the radius = 3m
Now we plug in 3 into the formula
[tex]A=\pi 3^2\\3^2=9\\A=9\pi[/tex]
Remember we do not apply pi because the answer should be in terms of pi.
Now we subtract the two
Area of white portion = 49 - 9π
Hence, the answer is A
