The Windshield Area Problem
Jaino's windshield wipers are not working, and he is concerned about the rainy season coming up. He purchased a very expensive windshield coating, which repels water as it falls on the windshield. The product works so well, Jaino will have full visibility, even if he is driving in a thunderstorm. Because the product is so expensive, Jaino wants to coat only the part of the windshield that his driver's side wiper covers. The windshield wiper is 18 inches long, and is affixed to a swing arm which is 22 inches long from pivot point to wiper-blade tip. If the swing arm turns through 110 degrees, what area of the windshield, to the nearest square inch, is swept by the wiper blade (and therefore is the area that Jaino needs to coat)? Remember, Jaino only wants to coat the part of the windshield that the 18 inches swipes through along the 110 degrees. Go out two decimal places for all numbers.
