  1. 9 pi cm squared · A quarter of 36 pi is 9 pi.
  2. 9 pi cm squared · A quarter of 36 pi is 9 pi.
  3. True · 180 over 360 is a half, for arc and area alike.
  4. 18.8 · A quarter of the circumference: 75.36 over 4 is 18.84, which rounds to 18.8.
  5. 7.125 · Sector 19.625 minus triangle 12.5 is 7.125.
  6. 7.125 · Sector 19.625 minus triangle 12.5 is 7.125.
  7. 10 pi cm squared · 144 over 360 simplifies to 2 over 5, and 2 over 5 of 25 pi is 10 pi.
  8. 62.8 · A fifth of 314 is 62.8.
  9. 10 · A 90 degree angle is a quarter of the full circle, so the full circumference is 4 times 15.7, which is 62.8, and the radius is 62.8 over 6.28.
  10. 18.24 · Sector 50.24 minus triangle 32 is 18.24.
