Hello All
I have this word problem that I am having problems with
Here it is
A circular piece of sheet metal has a diameter of 20 in. The edges are to be cut off to form a rectangle of area in^2. What are dimensions of the rectangle??
Here is what I have figured out. Not sure if it of any use
Formula of Circle is
10^2 = y ^ 2 + x ^ 2
Area of rectangle
160 = LW
Not sure how to go from here. Please help
Thanks
