Question

You have 324 ft^2 of fabric to make a circular play parachute for kids. What is the radius of the largest parachute you can make? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

Area of a circular play parachute:
A = 324 ft²
A =  r² π
r² π = 324
r² = 324 : 3.14
r² = 103.1874
r = √103.1874
r = 10.157987 ≈ 10.2 ft
