Ancient Chinese Coin

Geometry Level 1

The picture shows an ancient Chinese. The coin is a circle of radius 3 cm with a square of x cm removed from its center. The area of one face of the coin is 7π. Find the area of square.

(take π to be 3.142)

Can't solve 2.507 6.284 3

A s q u a r e = A c i r c l e A c o i n A_{square}=A_{circle}-A_{coin}

A s q u a r e = 3 2 π 7 π A_{square}=3^{2}π -7π

A s q u a r e = 9 π 7 π A_{square}=9π -7π

A s q u a r e = 2 π A_{square}=2π

A s q u a r e = 6.284 A_{square}= \boxed{6.284}

Haiz i think the question is the side of the square

It does not mention that x is side or area

Sujay Sheth - 7 years, 1 month ago

please specify in the question that the area of the coin given is excluding the area of the square. but it was a good question and easy to solve.

Nice tricky question

This problem has flaws in everything. It is not clear and the solutions are false. This is very bad example of allowing everybody to post with no approvals.

very simply explained, i solved it ina very complex manner and failed.

It does not mention the area to be 7pi after the square is removed.

so he mentioned the area as of the coin

Total Area of Circle = pi(3^2) = 9*pi

Left off area = 7*pi

=> Area of Square = 9 pi - 7 pi = 2* pi = 6.284

Really made d problem much simpler

Area of circle in coin is pie R square =pie X 3 X3 = 9pie area of square given is 7 pie so remaing are is 9 pie -7 pie =2 X 3.142 = 6.284 Ans K.K.GARg.India

Good Answer!!

2pie(r)square=9pie Bcoz r =3, face area=7pie, so 9pie-7pie=2pie,2*3.142=6.284

Area of the Square = Pi R^2 - 7 Pi =9 Pi - 7 Pi =2*Pi =6.284

(3.14)(9^2) - x = 7(3.14) x = 2(3.142) x = 6.284

A= ACIRCLE - A COIN=9Π -7Π=2Π=6.284

Acircle=7*3.1=21.7 aprox then by guessing the ratio, the square will be 6.284 !!!!!

Technically this problem should have no solution as the area is considered to be 7pi and not 7pi cm. Thus it could be 7pi mm or any other unit...but I assume this was just a type. In which case

A(square)=A(Circle)-A(Coin)

A(square)=3^2pi-7pi

A(square)=2pi

or 6.284

Total area of the circle is Pi r^2 = 9 pi. With the exclusion of the square, area is reduced to 7pi. Therefore the area of the cut-out square is 2 pi = 2*3.142= 6.284

Hey yo,

Given the radius of a circle = 3cm, the area of a coin's side = 7 pie,

Area of a circle = Area of a square + Area of a coin's side,

Area of a square = Area of a circle - Area of a coin's side,

Area of a square = (3.142)(3)(3) - 7(3.142) = 6.284 cm^2...

Thanks ah...
