Answer:
a) 50.24 ft²
b) 150.72 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Jason is painting a large circle on one wall of his new apartment. The largest distance across the circle will be 8 feet.
The distance across a circle is also called a diameter, Hence,
D = Diameter = 8 ft
The Area of a circle = πr²
r = Diameter/2 = 8ft/2 = 4ft
π = 3.14
Hence,
The Area of the circle = π × (4 ft)²
= 50.24 ft²
a) Approximately the amount of wall the circle will cover is 50.24 ft².
b) How much area will he cover if he painted a circle on three walls?
This is calculated as:
1 wall = 50.24 ft²
3 walls = x
Cross Multiply
x = 3 × 50.24 ft²
x = 150.72 ft²
