Question

If I have a circle that is 12 in in diameter and it's cold and a half and then folded in half again what is the area of the resulting shape and what is how do I write out the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

A= πr^2/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

diameter of circle= 12 in

the radius is r=d/2=6in

the area of the circle is

A=πr^2

A=3.142*6^2

A=3.142*36

A=113.1in^2

If the circle is folded in half, the area will be A/2= 113.1/2= 56.55in^2

In the corresponding shape is folded again the area is A/4= 28.3in^2

The expression for the last shape is

A= πr^2/4
