Question

An office manager needs to decide between two tables for the conference room. One is rectangular, 5 feet wide by 10 feet long. The other is a circle with an 8-foot diameter.
a. Find the perimeter or circumference of each table.
b. Find the area of each table.
c. Which table can seat more people? Explain.

Answer 1

Radius of circle= 4

a) circle circumference=2(pi)r
circumference=2(pi)4=25.13

P=2W+2L
p=2(5)+2(10)
P=30

b) area of circle=pi(r^2)=pi(16)=50.27
area of rectangle=L×W= 5×10= 50

c) I think you can figure it put
