Answer:
1,662 in²
=============================
Step-by-step explanation:
let the radius of the circular tabletop = r
The base can support a tabletop with a radius of at least 6 inches, but not more than 23 inches.
which mean r at least 6 in. and not more than 23 in.
∴ 6 ≤ r ≤ 23
Since the area of the circle = π * r²
So, the largest possible area of the tabletop will be for r = 23
So, the area = π * 23² = 1,661.9 in²
Round to the nearest whole square inch
So, The largest possible area of the tabletop is 1,662 in²
