Question

The radius of a circular sign is 12 inches. Equal parts of the sign are painted red and yellow. How many square inches are painted each color l? Use 3.14 for PI

Answer 1

Answer:

226.08 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is given by

$A=\pi r^{2}$

Where r is the radius and r is the area.

For this case, since one half is painted yellow and another red, then the area for each paint will be given by

$A=0.5\pi r^{2}$

Substituting 12 inches for r then

$A=0.5\pi 12^{2}=226.08 in^{2}$

Therefore, each paint occupies approximately 226.08 square inches
