Question

In the radius of a circle with an area of 10 inches squared is reduced by half what is the area of the new circle

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence when the radius is halved the area is divided by 4

2.5 inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Area= 10inches^2

We know that the expression for the area of  a circle is given as

Area= πr^2

10= 3.142*r^2

10/3.142= r^2

r^2= 3.18

Square both sides

r= √3.18

r= 1.78 inches

Now let us half the radius and find the area of the new circle

r/2= 1.78/2

r= 0.89

Area of the new circle is

Area= 3.142*0.89^2

Area= 3.142*0.7921

Area= 2.5 inches^2
