Pat is making 5 stools with circular seats that are each 12 inches in diameter. She wants to paint the tops of all the stools bright red, but needs to know the area she will paint. What is the total area of the tops of all 5 stools?

Start by finding the area of one of the stools with this formula:
A=(3.14)(12)(12)
Then multiply that answer by five, since there are 5 stools.
Hope this helps :) good luck
