How do you find the area of a circle when only given the circumference?

The circumference of the circle is 10ft
how do I find the area?
Solve for radius, like so:
10 feet = 2(pi)r
10 feet = 6.28r
r = 1.59 feet
Now that you know what the radius is, use a=(pi)(r squared) to find the area. Simple.

What is the area of the fourth triangle?

A convex quadrilateral is divided diagonally into 4 triangles. The areas of three of these triangles, proceeding clockwise, are 1, 2, and 3.
AB senx =1
BC senx =2
CD senx =3
implies AD senx= (AB)(CD)senx /BC = 3/2

i have miss volontary the factor 1/2 ahead each equation, but it is invariant at our aim for obvious reason..

What is the surface area formula for a cylinder?

for a cylinder
SURFACE AREA = 2 * pi *r *h + 2 pi*r^2 this is for the surface area of the entire outer surface plus the top and bottom circular surfaces
where r is radius of cylinder
h is height

What are the formulas of surface area and volume fo a tetrahedron?

tetrahedron is just a special pyramid (made up of 4 congruent equilateral triangles):
V = Base area * height / 3, which I think would be S^3√6 / 24 (I just derived that on the back of an envelope, so I am not guaranteeing my answer tonight!)
Total Area = 4 equilateral triangles = 4*S²√3/4 = S²√3
I [...]
