circumference measures 16 ft. 6 in. ?

Hence area of the segment of each circle cut off by their common chord 104.76 · 43°3 61.46. Therefore the area of the part common to both circles 122'92. Each of the other parts

5. The radius of a circle circumscribing a hexagon is 14 in.: find the radius of the inscribed circle and the area of the hexagon.

The radius of the inscribed circle is the height of an equilateral triangle whose side is 14 in ;

or r = 7√3 =

Area 6 X 7 X 7 √ 3

6. The side of an octagon is 5 ft.: find the radius of the inscribed circle and the area.

The side of the square formed by producing alternate sides of the octagon is 5 + 2 x, where a2 + x2 = 25 or x = 3.535. Hence the radius of the inscribed circle, which is half the side, = 6·035. The × 8 × 5 × 6·035 = 120.7106.
