The library , post office and gas station are all on elm street. The library is 3 miles away westward of the post office. The gas station is also 6 miles east of the post office. The distance between the library and the gas station can be computed below.
The post office is located at the middle between the library and the gas station. The library goes 3 miles westward of the post office while the gas station goes 6 miles eastward of the post office. The distance apart between the library and the gas station is the sum of the distance of the gas station from the post office and the distance of the library from the post office .
So it gives you the diameter but you need the radius of the circle to find the area so to find the radius you just divide the diameter by two. the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2 so you just multiply 3.14 by 3 squared so you just put it in the calculator as A=3.14*3^2 and you get 28.26 hope this helped
