<h2>Long short story: I tried ;-; </h2>
<span>Lets make it clear: You would have a positive answer when the value you are looking for has to be a positive number. On the other hand you would have a positive and a negative answer when you take the square root of something that doesn't have to be positive. it could be either because when a negative number is squared it becomes positive and when a positive number is squared it stays positive as well.</span>
It's c 18, because the diameter is the longest chord so it would be greater than 15.
We know that
area of the circle=pi*r²
circumference==2*pi*r----------> r=circumference/(2*pi)
circumference=25 1/7 in----> (25*7+1)/7----> 176/7 in
r=(176/7)/(2*22/7)----> r=176/44----> r=4 in
area of the circle is equal to the area of the cake
area=pi*r²---> (22/7)*4²-----> area=50.29 in²
the answer is
50.29 in²
