The 8 foot diameter circular table has a 4 foot wide extension. What is the total area with the extension? How does the area com
pare to the area of the 10 foot diameter table? Show your work.
1 answer:
To compare the areas of the table without the extension and the table with the extension, you would need to find the areas of both. See the attached page for the area of the table with the extension. To compare this to a table with a diameter of 10 ft, you need to calculate the area of the table that has a diameter of 10 feet. See the attached page for this information as well. When you're done make a comparison statement giving both pieces of information in your answer.
