For this case we have that by definition, the area of a circle is given by:


A = \pi * r ^ 2

Where:

r: It is the radius of the circle

We have as data that:


r = \frac {42} {2} = 21 \ in

We found the table area:


A = \pi * (21) ^ 2\\A = \pi * 441\\A = 1384.74 \ in ^ 2

Now, we find the cost per square inch:


\frac {280} {1384.74} = 0.22

Thus, the cost of the table is $0.20 per square inch.

ANswer:

The cost of the table is $0.20 per square inch.
