Question

a circular frame that is 3-inches wide surrounds the mirror what I the combined area in square inches of the circular mirror and the frame

Answer 1

Assuming the frame is a perfect circle
and 3 inches wide indicates the diameter


area of a circle=pi times radius^2

diameter=2 times radius
radius=1/2 diameter
diameter=3
radius=1/2 times 3
radius=3/2=1.5

area=pi times 1.5^2=2.25
pi is aprox 3.14 so
2.25 times 3.14=7.065 square inches


the answer is 2.25π square inches or 7.065 square inches
