Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

  1. Calculate the area of the rectangular paperboard: The area A A of a rectangle is given by the formula: A=length×width A = \text{length} \times \text{width} Here, the length is 33 inches and the width is 20 inches. So, A=33in×20in=660square inches A = 33 \, \text{in} \times 20 \, \text{in} = 660 \, \text{square inches}

  2. Calculate the area of the semicircle: The area A A of a semicircle is given by the formula: A=12πr2 A = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 To find the radius r r of the semicircle, we need to know the diameter. Since the semicircle is cut out from the width of the rectangle, the diameter is equal to the width of the rectangle, which is 20 inches. Therefore, the radius r r is: r=diameter2=20in2=10in r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{20 \, \text{in}}{2} = 10 \, \text{in} Now, using π=3.14 \pi = 3.14 : A=12×3.14×(10in)2=12×3.14×100in2=157square inches A = \frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times (10 \, \text{in})^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times 100 \, \text{in}^2 = 157 \, \text{square inches}

  3. Calculate the remaining area of the paperboard: The remaining area is the area of the rectangle minus the area of the semicircle: Remaining area=Area of rectangleArea of semicircle \text{Remaining area} = \text{Area of rectangle} - \text{Area of semicircle} Substituting the values we found: Remaining area=660square inches157square inches=503square inches \text{Remaining area} = 660 \, \text{square inches} - 157 \, \text{square inches} = 503 \, \text{square inches}

So, the area of the paperboard that remains is 503square inches 503 \, \text{square inches} .
