Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find out the area of the square in order to find how many square inches were cut from the squared cloth.
Diameter = 42 in.
Radius = D / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21 in.
Area of circle = πr²
Where r = 21 in.
Area = (3.14)(21)²
Area = (3.14)(441)
Area of the circle = 1385.4 in.²

One half as a decimal is .5
Okay. When it comes to multiplying decimals, you multiply them just like you would do whole numbers. However, solving them by paper, you would add a decimal point into the answer, depending on how many numbers are behind the decimal point in the numbers being multiplied. In this case, the decimal point will go in front of two numbers, because there are two numbers behind the decimal point in -1.2 and 0.4. Know that the answer will be negative, because there is one negative and one positive number.
Multiply both numbers. -1.2 * 0.4 is -0.48. There. The product is -0.48.
