A circular mirror is surrounded by a square metal frame. The radius of the mirror is 7x.
The side length of the metal frame is 21x. What is the area of the metal​ frame?
The area of the frame is ____ square units.

Respuesta :

Answer: The area of the frame is 287.14x² square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area = πr²

Where

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the given information,

radius = 7x

Therefore, area of the circular mirror is

3.14 × (7x)² = 153.86x² square units

The formula for determining the area of a square is expressed as

Area = L²

From the information given,

L = 21x

Area of the total square metal frame is

(21x)² = 441x²

Therefore, area of the metal frame is total area of the square - area of the mirror. It becomes

441x² - 153.86x² = 287.14x² square units
