Question

Kenyl covers the front of a circular bulletin board with fabric that costs 1.48 per square foot. The bulletin board has a radius of 2.5 feet. Kenyl will count only the cost the exact amount of fabric he uses What is the cost of the fabric. Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are trying to calculate the cost of exact amount of fabric used given the cost per area of the fabric.

To answer this question mathematically, we need to know the area of the bulletin board. To do this , we employ a mathematical approach. We know that the bulletin board is circular in shape from the question and thus we calculate the area of this shape.

Mathematically, the area of the circular bulletin board is pi * r^2 where r refers to the radius. From the question, we can identify that this radius is 2.5 feet. let’s insert this into the equation we have.

mathematically A = 2.5^2 * pi = 19.63 sq. feet

The cost of the fabric per square feet is 1.48.

now the cost for this area that we have will be 1.48 * 19.63 = 29.0524

This is nearest to 29
