YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Stained Glass Window

You are designing a stained glass window. Which division for circle B did you
choose?

Circle one option:

Option 1: Thirds Option 2: Fourths Option 3: Sixths

The window pane measures 24 inches on each side

The big circle A is 20 inches in diameter, and the little circle B is
8 inches in diameter

How much of each type of glass we need, and how much the glass will be
cost

A positive number in square inches for the amount of glass, and

a positive number in dollars for the cost

Here is a picture of the square pane and the circles inside. (Note: Picture is not drawn
to scale.)

1. What is the area of the square? (1 point)

24*24 = 576 in^2

2. What is the approximate area of circle A? (1 point)

3. What is the approximate area of circle B? (1 point)

4. What is the approximate area of the shaded region 1 (between the square and
circle A)? (2 points)

5. Does the area of shaded region 1 change size if you move circle A to a different
position inside the square? (1 point)

No

6. What is the approximate area of shaded region 2 (between circles A and B)?
(2 points)

Consider the segmented circle B that you chose.

7. What is the interior angle of each sector inside your circle B? (1 point)

8. What is the approximate area of each sector in your circle B? (2 points)

Solving the Problem:

Suppose the costs for your glass are as follows:

Region 1 (the area between the square and circle A): $0.10 per square inch

Region 2 (the area between circle A and circle B): $0.15 per square inch

Sectors for circle B: One sector will be made from expensive glass that is $0.80
per square inch. The rest of the sectors will be from glass that is $0.20 per square
inch.

9. How much does the glass for region 1 cost? (1 point)

10. How much does the glass for region 2 cost? (1 point)

11. What is the total cost for the glass for the sectors in circle B? (2 points)

first sector = 0.8*16.75 = $13.4

other two sectors = 0.2 *2*16.75 = 6.7

13.4 + 6.7 = $20.10

12. What is the total cost of the glass for your window? (1 point)

13. You have only $100 to spend on glass supplies. Do you have enough money to
buy your glass? (1 point)

Yes, with $14.13 left
