Question

crater Lake in Oregon in shaped like a circle with a diameter of about 5.5 miles. What is the area of the surface of crater lake?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given the statement: Crater Lake in Oregon in shaped like a circle with a diameter of about 5.5 miles.

Area of circle is given by:

$A = \pi \frac{d^2}{4}$

where

A represents the area of a circle

d represents the diameter of a circle.

then;

It is given that Surface of Crater lake is shaped like a circle.

Substitute the given values, we have;

Area of a circle = $\pi \frac{(5.5)^2}{4}$

= $3.14 \times \frac{30.25}{4} =3.14 \times 7.5625 = 23.74625$ square miles

therefore, the area of a surface of a crater lake is, 23.74625 square miles.
