HELP WITH ALGEBRA 1

A bucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. The paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6t, where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading.

The flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. The area of the pattern can be expressed as A(p) = πp2.

Part A: Find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or A[p(t)]. Show your work. (6 points)

Part B: How large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? You may use 3.14 to approximate π in this problem. (4 points)

Part A:we know p(t)=6t and also
A(p)=πp2replace p by 6t
A(t)=π(6t)2=36πt2Part B = 7234.56
