Question 9.
The diagram shows an athletic field with a track around it, The track is 4 feet wide. The field is a rectangle with semicircles at the two ends. Find the area of the track. Use 3.14 as an approximation for π.
Math in Focus Grade 6 Chapter 11 Lesson 11.3 Answer Key Real-World Problems Circles 15
Answer:
The area of the track is 1,110.4 square feet,

Explanation:
The field is a rectangle with semicircles at the two ends. First we calculate the area with out the track so we have
rectangle area as length = 84 ft – 8 ft = 76 ft and width is 36 ft so area is 76 ft X 36 ft = 2,736 square feet,
Now area of two semicircles with diameter 36 ft so radius is 36 ft/2 = 18 ft, so area is 2 X \(\frac{1}{2}\) X πr2 = 3.14 X 18 ft X 18 ft = 1,017.36 square feet, Field area is 2,736 sq ft + 1,017.36 sq ft = 3,753.36 square feet,
Now field area with track area of rectangle is length 76 ft and width is 36 ft + 8 ft = 44 ft is 76 ft X 44 ft = 3,344 square feet, area of two semicircles with diameter 44 ft so radius is 44 ft/2 = 22 ft, so area is 2 X \(\frac{1}{2}\) X πr2 = 3.14 X 22 ft X 22 ft = 1,519.76 square feet, Field area with track is 3,344 square feet + 1,519.76 square feet = 4,863.76 square feet. Now the area of the track is field area with track – field area = 4,863.76 square feet – 3,753.36 square feet = 1,110.4 square feet.

Question 10.

39.25 square centimeters,

Explanation:
The area of the 2 quardants is 2 X \(\frac{1}{4}\) X πr2 as diameter is 10 cm radius is 10 cm/2 = 5 cm,
Now area is 2 X \(\frac{1}{4}\) X 3.14 X 5 cm X 5 cm = 39.25 square centimeters.

Question 11.
Wheels A and B are placed side by side on a straight road. The diameter of wheel A is 56 inches. The diameter of wheel B is 35 inches. Suppose each wheel makes 15 revolutions. Find the distance between the wheels after they have made these 15 revolutions.
Use \(\frac{22}{7}\) as an approximation for π.
Math in Focus Grade 6 Chapter 11 Lesson 11.3 Answer Key Real-World Problems Circles 17
Answer:
The distance between the wheels after they have made these 15 revolutions is 494.55 inches,

Explanation:
Given wheels A and B are placed side by side on a straight road. The diameter of wheel A is 56 inches. The diameter of wheel B is 35 inches. Radius of wheel A is diameter of wheel A/2 = 56 inches/2 = 28 inches, Radius of wheel B is diameter of wheel B/2 = 35 inches/2 = 17.5 inches, Circumference of wheel A = πr = 3.14 X 28 inches = 87.92 inches,
Circumference of wheel B = πr = 3.14 X 17.5 inches = 54.95 inches, If Wheel A makes 15 revolutions the distance is
87.92 inches X 15 = 1,318.8 inches and If wheel B makes 15 revolutions the distance is 54.95 inches X 15 = 824.25 inches so the distance between the wheels after they have made these 15 revolutions is distance of 15 revolutions of wheel A – distance of 15 revolutions of wheel B = 1,318.8 inches – 824.25 inches = 494.55 inches.

Question 12.
Nine identical circles are cut from a square sheet of paper whose sides are 36 centimeters long. If the circles are as large as possible, what is the area of the paper that is left after all the circles are cut out? Use 3.14 as an approximation for π.
Answer:
The area of the paper that is left after all the circles are cut out is 278.64 square centimeters,

Explanation:
Given nine identical circles are cut from a square sheet of paper whose sides are 36 centimeters long. If the circles are as large as possible, So the area of the paper that is left after all the circles are cut out is area of the square – area of 9 circles, The area of the square is 36 cms X 36 cms = 1,296 square cms, diameter = 38 cms/3 approximately 12 cms, radius is 12 cms / 2 cms = 6 cms, Area of 9 circles is 9 X πr2 = 9 X 3.14 X 6 cms X 6 cms = 1,017.36 square centimeters, therefore the area of the paper that is left after all the circles are cut out = 1,296 sq cms – 1,017.36 sq cms = 278.64 square centimeters.

Question 13.
A designer drew an icon as shown below. O is the center of the circle, and AB is a diameter. Two semicircles are drawn in the circle. If \(\overline{A B}\) is 28 millimeters, find the area of the shaded part. Use \(\frac{22}{7}\) as an approximation for π.
Math in Focus Grade 6 Chapter 11 Lesson 11.3 Answer Key Real-World Problems Circles 18
Answer:
The area of the shaded part is 307.72 square millimeters,

Explanation:
Given a designer drew an icon as shown below. O is the center of the circle, and AB is a diameter. Two semicircles are drawn in the circle. If \(\overline{A B}\) is 28 millimeters, if we see the design the shaded region is half of the circle so the area of the shaded part as diameter is 28 mm its radius is 28 mm/2 = 14 mm, Now area of shaded region = \(\frac{1}{2}\) X πr2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) X 3.14 X 14 mm X 14 mm = 307.72 square millimeters.

Answer:
The area of the whole space is 2,014.88 square centimeters,

Explanation:
Given a wire is bent to make the shape below. The shape is made up of four identical circles. Each circle intersects two other circles. The four circles meet at a common point T, which is the center of square PQRS. So the area of the whole shape is (4 X \(\frac{1}{2}\) the area of circle) + area of the square, radius = diameter/2 = 28 cm/2 = 14 cm, So [4 X (\(\frac{1}{2}\) X 3.14 X 14 cm X 14 cm)] + (28 cm X 28 cm) = (2 X 615.44 square centimeter) +  784 square centimeters = 1,230.88n square centimeters + 784 square centimeters = 2,014.88 square centimeters.

Math in Focus Grade 6 Chapter 11 Lesson 11.3 Answer Key Real-World Problems Circles 23
Answer:
The value of x is 9.903 inches,

Explanation:
Given a stage prop is made up of a semicircle and a quadrant. Its area is 924 square inches with radius 2x in. So 924 sqaure inches = area of the quadrant + area of the semicircle,
924 sq in = \(\frac{1}{4}\) X 3.14 X 2x in X 2x in + \(\frac{1}{2}\) X 3.14 X 2x in X 2x in,
924 sq in = 3.14x2 sq in + 6.28x2 sq in,
924 sq in =9.42x2 sq in,
x2 = 924 sq in/9.42 sq in = 98.089 sq in, therefore x = square root of 98.089 sq in = 9.903 inches.
