Question

A circular tablecloth has a diameter of 6 feet, as shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

$9\pi ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text {Formula for the area of a circle:}\\ A=\pi r^2$

The diameter is given. The radius of a circle is half it's diameter.

$6/2 = 3\\\text {Radius: } 3$

Apply the Formula (using 3.14 for pi):

$A=\pi(3)^2\\A=\pi(9)\\A = 9\pi$

The answers are in exact form.

The circle's area should be $9\pi ft^2$.

I do not see C or D's options, but choose the answer that is the closest to  $9\pi$.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter= 6 ft

Radius = 6/2 = 3 feet

Area of circle = πr²

                      = π * 3 * 3

                     = 9π ft²
