Thread: Areas and Perimeters.

I have this assignment at school to do with Areas and Perimeters. This is the final question, and I am totally stuck.

b) Find x if the total area is to be 1000m2

c) find the cost of the outer border given that materials cost $12.75 per metre.

Is anyone able to help me?

Oh yes, if it helps, this is the expression:

A = x2 (1 + PI/2) m2

1. The complete area consists of a square with side length x and two complete circles with radius . Therefore solve for x:



2. The perimeter of the area is the circumference of two circles with radius . Therefore the costs of the border are



Use the value of x from #1 to solve #2.
