Answer:
Explanation:
The diameter of the top of the coffee mug which the baker uses to cut out circular cookies from the big sheet of cookie dough is 8 cm.
Radius of the coffee mug is diameter of the coffee mug/2.
Radius of the coffee mug
= 8/2 = 4cm
The area of the circular mug is expressed as
Area = πr^2
Where π is a constant whose value is 3.14
Therefore,
Area of the top of the circular mug = 3.14 × 4^2 = 3.14 × 16 = 50.24 cm^2
The area of the top of the circular cup is the same as the area of each cookie. Therefore,
The area of each cookie is 50.24 cm^2
