Re: Geogebra Help

I entered that code. I do not see any picture.

Re: Geogebra Help

Just the code? Did you put in a point E?

Re: Geogebra Help

Hi,

I drew up Agnishom's pic, entered your code and got the same for g as you did.

Re: Geogebra Help

It is better if you enter IntegralBetween[sqrt(49 - x²), 7, x(E), 0] then he will shade the area.

Re: Geogebra Help

It only shaded the left half of the shape and output the area value just for that section.

Re: Geogebra Help

Yes but you can see by symmetry that the answer is twice that. I left out the 2 in 2*IntegralBetween[sqrt(49 - x²), 7, x(E), 0] so you can see what geogebra is integrating.

Re: Geogebra Help

Yes, I saw the symmetry but wondered if there was a way to shade the whole shape and give the whole area, and so, not knowing what I was doing, I tried reordering components of the expression but always got the same left-half result.

Re: Geogebra Help

To get both sides shaded you will have to abandon the sector idea and go to circles as she did.

Re: Geogebra Help

Is the maths for that fairly simple, or will it need 'integrals' and/or 'functions', neither of which I've ever learnt about? Or something else not taught in high school, perhaps?

I feel I'm getting out of my depth here.

Re: Geogebra Help

Geogebra will do it all for you.

Want to try?

Re: Geogebra Help

Yes. I've already given it a go but wasn't getting anywhere with it (or maybe I was close, but my nose got in the way).

I think I need a hint.

Re: Geogebra Help

Draw the square and use the Circle with radius tool.

Pick point A and click it and enter 7 then do the same with point B.

I already tried that a while back, but no ideas leapt out at me.

Re: Geogebra Help

It will in just a second. Now use the intersection tool and click on both circles. E and F will be created.

Re: Geogebra Help

F will be on the bottom. If it is not then just rename the top intersection point E.

Re: Geogebra Help

Okay enter this:

IntegralBetween[sqrt(49 - x²), 7, x(E), 0] and IntegralBetween[sqrt(49 - (x - 7)²), 7, 7, x(E)]

color them any way you like. What do you see?

The shape's left and right shaded halves and their respective area values (same for each).

Re: Geogebra Help

The nice thing is that the equations for the circles are calculated for you. Under conics. With those equations M can now get exact answers. That is what she did.

Re: Geogebra Help

You'll have to enlighten me, I think. I've never learnt curve equations and don't understand what they do.

I should really turn in now, though, as it's waaay after midnight. To be continued...(thanks so far smile )
