The clock face in a famous clock tower has a radius of about 5 meters. What is the area of the clock face to the nearest square meter? Use 3.14 as an approximation for .

Respuesta :

Area = [tex] \pi [/tex] * r^2 = 3.14 *25 = 78.5 m sqaure.
79 square meter when you round it up 

Answer:

The area of the clock face is [tex]79\ m^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a circle is equal to

[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]

we have

[tex]r=5\ m[/tex]

[tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]

substitute

[tex]A=(3.14)(5^{2})=78.5\ m^{2}[/tex]

Round to the nearest square meter

[tex]78.5\ m^{2}=79\ m^{2}[/tex]
