Directions: Theo wants to build a hockey rink. He needs to find the amount of flooring
material for the rink from the following sketch:
The rink is shaped like a rectangle with rounded corners. The corners are circular in
shape and have a radius of 11 feet. How much flooring will Theo need? Make sure you
include an explanation with necessary computations, sketches, formulas, and notes.
Theo will also need ‘boards’, the wall that surrounds the rink. If the wall is 42 inches
high, what will the total area of the boards equal? Make sure you include an explanation
with necessary computations, sketches, formulas, and notes.
