4725-2250= 2475
2475/2250 x100= 110
It increased by 110%
Diameter of the basketball rim = 18 inches
Circumference of the standard basketball = 30 inches
Area of circle = π r²
Basketball rim = 3.14 * (18/2)² = 3.14 * 9² = 3.14 * 81 = 254.34 in²
Circumference of a circle = 2 π r
30 = 2 * 3.14 * r
r = 30 / (2*3.14) = 30 / 6.28 = 4.78 inches
Standard basketball = 3.14 * (4.78)² = 3.14 * 22.85 = 71.75 in²
254.34 - 71.75 = 182.59 in²
