Answer:
1.016%
Explanation:
We need to calculate the rate in the area.
We know that,
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]A_1=\pi (5)^2 =78.5398m^2\\A_2= \pi(5.04)^2 = 79.8014m^2[/tex]
The change in area is
[tex]A_2-A_1=1.2616m^2[/tex]
In percentage that represent,
[tex]Rate = \frac{A_2}{A_1} = \frac{79.8014}{78.5398} = 1.016\%[/tex]
