First, you must understand that since a hydromassage tub is mentioned and the diameter, it is assimilated that it is round in its upper part, which is why the formula is used to find the area of a circle:
<u>Area of a circle = pi * radius ^ 2</u> (you must know that the radius is half the diameter)
Since the diameter is mentioned, it can be replaced in the formula:
Area of a circle = 3.14 * (3.5 feet) ^ 2
<u>Area of a circle = 38,465 square feet. Approximately 38 square feet</u>.
The dimensions on the sketch are 10 times less than the actual rug.
40 in., 7.5 in.
The drawing lengths are ten times more, so you just multiply the dimensions by 10, and then multiply the product you find out to find the actual area of the rug.
