Answer 1

Answer:

Area = 733 m² (to the nearest meter)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulae

• Circumference of a circle = 2$\pi$r
• Area of a circle =  $\pi$r²

      (where r is the radius of the circle)

Find the radius

circumference = 96 m

Using the circumference of a circle formula:

⇒  2$\pi$r = 96

⇒  $\pi$r = 96 ÷ 2 = 48

⇒  r = 48 ÷ $\pi$ = 48/$\pi$

Find the area

radius r = 48/$\pi$

Using the area of a circle formula:

⇒  A = $\pi$r²

⇒  A = $\pi$(48/$\pi$)²

⇒  A = 2304/$\pi$

⇒  A = 733.3859778...

⇒  A = 733 m² (to the nearest meter)
