Question

he diameter of an ice skating rink is 44 feet. In terms of π, what is the area of the rink to the nearest square yard? (9 ft2 = 1 yd2)

Answer 1

The area of the circular ring is 53.73 π sq. yards

Explanation:

The diameter of the skating ring = 44 ft

Diameter = 2 x Radius

⇒Radius of the ring = 44 / 2 = 22 ft

Now, 1 ft = 0.333333 yards

⇒22 ft = 22 x 0.333333 yards = 7.3333 yards

Now, Area of the circular Ring =
`\pi r^2\\`

or,
`A = \pi (7.33)^2`

= 53.73 π sq. yards

or, the area of the circular ring is 53.73 π sq. yards
