Once again, put your answer in small text so you don't give it away, and show your working if you can.

A clue is you need to use the Quadratic equation  |

Area of floor without cutaways = 12(18+r) = 216 + 12r
Area of central cutaway = πR² = π(2r)² = 4πr²
Area of corner cutaway = 0.5πr²
So cutaways = 4πr² + 0.5πr² = 4.5πr²
Floor area = 200 = 216 + 12r -4.5πr²
-16 = 12r -4.5πr²
-4.5πr² + 12r +16 = 0
Oh how much FUN. You've contrived to make me do a quadratic fucking equation. I last did one of these 17 years ago and I hated them then!
Using the quadratic solving equation: x = -b +or- √(b² - 4ac)/2a
r = -12 - √(144 - (-288π))/-9π
r = -12 - √(144 +288π)/-9π
r = -12 - √1048.779/-28.274
r = (-12 - 32.384)/-28.274
r = -44.384 / -28.274
r = 1.570
Check working:
216 + 12r -4.5πr² = 216 + 18.840 - 34.847 = 199.993
Close enough for government work!

I've not seen the correct answer yet. Keep trying kids  |

Here's how I did it, however I suspect it will be somewhat similar to others.

I made the same mistake as Keith when I first did it, only checking the diagram after did I realise.  ____________________ Past: Honda x8rs, Honda City fly, Honda Hornet 250, Honda VFR750, Yamaha xt600e.
