Question

If the radius of a circle with an area of 11.5 inches squared is multiplied by 6, what is the area of the new circle?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. 414 in squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us for solving the question:

Area of the first circle = 11.5 inches ²

2. Let's calculate the area of the new circle, given that the radius of the first circle is multiplied by 6.

Area of the first circle = 11.5 inches ²

Let's find the radius:

π * r² = 11.5

r² = 11.5 / 3.1416

r² = 3.66055513

r = 1.91 inches

The first circle has a radius of 1.91 inches

So, the radius of the second circle is 1.91 * 6 = 11.48 inches

Area of the second circle = π * r²

Area of the second circle = 3.1416 * 11.48²

Area of the second circle = 3.1416 * 131.79

Area of the second circle = 414.03 inches ²

Area of the second circle = 414 inches ² (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

The correct answer is D. 414 in squared.
