Cory has a square piece of wood that is 4.5 feet by 4.5 feet. He wants to make a circular tabletop out of it. What is the area of the largest circle that he can cut out of the wood? Round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

In this circle, the diameter is the same as the length of the side of the square.  The diameter is 4.5 ft; so, the radius is 2.25 ft., so. A πr²= π(2.25)²=15.90 ft²

The area of the largest circle is  15.9 feet^2

what is area ?

The area is the amount of space within the perimeter of a 2 D shape. It is    measured in square units, such as cm², m², etc.

formula used to find the area is :

A = π r^2

Given : diameter = 4.5 feet

r = d/2

⇒ 4.5 / 2

⇒ 2.25

r = 2.25

A = π × (2.25)^2

A = 3.14 × 5.0625

A  =  15.89625  feet^2

round to nearest tenth is :

A = 15.9 feet ^2

Hence , the area of the largest circle is 15.9 feet ^2
