Question

A frying pan has a diameter of 11 inches. What is the area to the nearest square inch of the smallest cover that will fit on top of the frying pan?

Answer 1

96 in²

Explanation:

area of a circle = pi(r)^2

circle is the top of the frying pan

radius = diameter / 2 = 11/2

therefore

Area = πr² = π(11/2)²

=95.033

and since a 95 in² cover wont completely cover the frying pan you must round up to 96 in²
