Question

A local carpet company has been hired to carpet a planetarium which is in the shape of a circle. If the radius of the planetarium is six yards, and the cost of the carpet is $14 per square yard, find the total cost to carpet the planetarium. (use 3.14 for π )

Answer 1

We are given radius = 6 yards

area of circle = pi * r * r = 3.14 * 6*6 = 113.04 yard square

cost of carpet is $14 per square yard

cost of 113.04 square yard = 14*113.04= 1582.56 dollars

Answer: cost to carpet the planetarium is $1582.56
