Your Turn!!

Cover up the solution to example 1 and do example 1 yourself & check your answers!! Type ‘yes’ if you have successfully done this. π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π

Your Turn!!

1) Cover up the solution to example 2, using shape B.  Do example 2 yourself & check your answer!! Type ‘yes’ if you have successfully done this. π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π

2) Another way to break the shape up is shown in C above.

a) Name the two shapes in C. a = π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π , b = π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π

b) Calculate the area of the two shapes in C, giving your answers as decimals.

a = π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π cm², b = π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π cm²

c) Show that the area of the two shapes together is 5.75 cm². Type ‘yes’ if you have successfully done this. π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π
