Question

A circular piece of fabric has a radius of 1.2ft. The fabric sells for $5.40 per ft2. What is the total cost of the circular piece of fabric

Answer 1

Find the area of the fabric
The fabric is circular, so we find the area using the area of circle formula
a = π × r²

input the numbers
a = π × r²
a = 3.14 × (1.2)²
a = 3.14 × 1.44
a = 4.5216 ft²

Calculate the total cost
Multiply the cost by the area
cost = 5.4 × 4.5216
cost = 24.417
The total cost is approximately $24.42
