A flying disc has a radius of inches. What is the area of one side of the flying disc to the nearest square inch? Use as an approximation for . square inches square inches square inches square inches

Answer 1

The area of one side of the flying disc, with a radius of 6 inches, is approximately 113 square inches when using 3.14 as an approximation for π.

The area (A) of a circle is given by the formula
`\(A = \pi r^2\)`, where r is the radius. Given that the radius (r) of the flying disc is 6 inches, substitute this into the formula:

`\[ A = 3.14 * (6 \, \text{in})^2 \]`

Calculate this expression to find the area.

`\[ A \approx 3.14 * 36 \, \text{in}^2 \]\[ A \approx 113.04 \, \text{in}^2 \]`

So, the area of one side of the flying disc is approximately 113 square inches.
