Question

The diameter of a circular tablecloth is 72 inches. Find the area and circumference. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) The area is $A=4,069.44\ in^{2}$

Part 2) The circumference is $C=226.08\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area

we know that

The area of a circle (circular tablecloth) is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=72/2=36\ in$ ------> the radius is half the diameter

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$A=(3.14)(36)^{2}$

$A=4,069.44\ in^{2}$

step 2

Find the circumference

we know that

The circumference of a circle (circular tablecloth) is equal to

$C=\pi D$

we have

$D=72\ in$

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$C=(3.14)(72)$

$C=226.08\ in$
