Answer 1

The area of the largest circular fire pit is 452 square inches.

Explanation:

Given that at a campground, a rectangular fire pit is 3 feet by 2 feet

The radius is given by 1 feet.

Area:

The area of the largest circular fire is given by

$A=\pi r^2$

Substituting the values in the formula, we get,

$A=(3.14)1^2$

$A=3.14 \ ft^2$

Thus, the area of the largest circular fire is 3.14 square feet.

To convert feet to inches:

The feet can be converted into inches by multiplying by 12.

Thus, we have,

$1 \ft= 12 \ inches$

Hence, we have,

$Area= 3.14\times 12^2$

Simplifying,we get,

$Area= 3.14\times144$

$Area=452.16 \ in^2$

Rounding off to the nearest square inch.

Thus, we have,

$Area= 452 \ in^2$

Thus, the area of the largest circular fire pit is 452 square inches.
