Question

A landing pad for a helicopter is in the shape of a circle with a radius of 7 meters. Which of the following is closest to the area of the landing pad?

Answer 1

Answer:

The approximate value of the area is $153.86\ m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the circle (landing pad) is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=7\ m$

substitute

$A=\pi (7)^{2}$

$A=49\pi\ m^{2}$ ----> exact value of the area

Find the approximate value

assume $\pi=3.14$

$A=49(3.14)=153.86\ m^{2}$ ------> approximate value of the area

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of Circular landing pad = 307.72 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Circular landing pad = 2πr^2

where r = radius of circular landing pad = 7m

π = 22/7 = 3.14

by placing all these value in the formula

Area of Circular landing pad = 2*3.14*(7^2)

Area of Circular landing pad = 6.28*49

Area of Circular landing pad = 307.72 m^2
