Question

This famous clock tower has a clock face with a diameter of 23 feet. What is the approximate area of this clock face

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the approximate area of this clock face is 415.3 feet².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Clock is of Circular Shape,

Diameter = 23 feet

$Radius =r =\dfrac{diameter}{2}=\dfrac{23}{2}=11.5\ feet$

To Find :

Area of Clock Face = ?

Solution:

Area of Circle having Radius 'r' is given as,

$\textrm{Area of Circle}=\pi r^{2}$

Substituting the values we get

$\textrm{Area of Clock Face}=3.14\times (11.5)^{2}=415.265=415.3\ feet^{2}$

Therefore the approximate area of this clock face is 415.3 feet².
