Learning Outcomes
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
- Use the properties of circles
- Find the area of irregular figures
Examples
Before you get started, take this readiness quiz.
- Evaluate [latex]{x}^{2}[/latex] when [latex]x=5[/latex].If you missed this problem, review [link].
- Using [latex]3.14[/latex] for [latex]\pi [/latex], approximate the (a) circumference and (b) the area of a circle with radius [latex]8[/latex] inches.If you missed this problem, review [link].
- Simplify [latex]\frac{22}{7}{\left(0.25\right)}^{2}[/latex] and round to the nearest thousandth.If you missed this problem, review [link].
In this section, we’ll continue working with geometry applications. We will add several new formulas to our collection of formulas. To help you as you do the examples and exercises in this section, we will show the Problem Solving Strategy for Geometry Applications here.
