Question

A cake has a circumference of 25 1/7 inches. What is the area of the cake? Use 22/7 to approximate pi

Answer 1

To calculate for area given the circumference we proceed as follows:
C=2πr
where:
r=radius
thus given that C=25 1/7 in=176/7
thus plugging in our formula to solve for r we get:
176/7=2πr
thus
r=4.002~4.00 in
hence the area will be:
A=πr²
A=π×(4²)
A=50 2/7 in²
