A circle is cut into congruent sections and arranged to form a figure that approximates a parallelogram. Find the approximate height of the figure when its area class=

Answer :

Answer:

8.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is a circle which was cut into congruent sections.

The approximate height of the parallelogram is the radius of the circle which was cut.

Area [tex]=72.25\pi cm^2[/tex]

Area of a circle = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\pi r^2=72.25\pi \\r^2=72.25\\r=\sqrt{72.25}\\r=8.5 cm\\$The approximate height of the figure is 8.5cm[/tex]
