Work out the area of the shaded region.

Area of the shaded region is 6.867 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area corresponds to the difference of the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle.

Area of the rectangle = 4 times 8 = 32 cm^2

Area of the semicircle = 0.5 * pi * r^2   (where r is the radius, i.e., half of the diameters, i.e., 4 cm). So Area = 0.5*pi*4^2 = 25.133 cm^2

The difference: 32 - 25.133 = 6.867 cm^2 (area of the shaded region)

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Solve for r

V = π * r² * h

r² = V/πh

Find the square root of both sides

r = √V/πh

If height = 6 meters and volume = 300 cubic meters. Find r

r = √V/πh

= √(300/3.14*6)

= √(300/18.84)

= √15.923566878980

r = 3.9904344223381

Approximately,

r = 4 meters
