Question

The seventh-grade class is building target areas for a PE activity. The bases for the game will be in a circular shape. The diameter of each circle is 6 feet. Approximately how many square feet of the turf need to be painted for a base circle? Use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The answer is 19.6 square feet.

Explanation:

Answer 2

By definition, the area of a circle is given by:

`A = \pi * r ^ 2`
Where,
r: radius of the circle.
Substituting the values in the given expression, we have:

`A = 3.14 * (3) ^ 2 A = 28.26 feet ^ 2`
Rounding to the nearest tenth we have:

`A=28.3feet^2`
Answer:
Approximately needed:

`A=28.3feet^2`
