The figure below shows part of a stained glass window depicting the rising sun which function can be used to find the area of the region outside of the semicirc class=

Respuesta :

We know that the area of a semicircle = 1/2(πr^2)

r = the radius

We also know that the area of a rectangle = xy

x = width

y = length

In our problem,

r = w

x = w

y = w + 5

A(w) = w(w + 5) - 1/2(πw^2)

Let's simplify the right side of the function.

A(w) = w^2 + 5w - 1/2πw^2
