Question

Can’t figure out how to figure out the diameter from the area..... Btw look at the image

Answer 1

Answer:

2.26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  the area of the slice is 4 in^2.

The formula for the area of a circle is A = (pi)(r)^2, where r is the radius.

Therefore,

A = 4 in^2 = (pi)(r^2), or

   

         4 in^2

r^2 = ------------ = 1.273

             pi

Since the area of the slice is A = (pi)(r^2), and since (d/2)^2 = r^2 = d^2/4

A =  (4 in^2) = (pi)(d^2 / 4)

Solving for d^2, we divide both sides by pi/4, obtaining:

4 in^2

---------- = d^2  = 5.093 in^2

 pi/4

and so d = √5.093 = 2.26 in (to the nearest 100th)
