Question

What is the approximate area of the construction paper, in square inches after the circles are cut out? Use 3.14 for π

A. 51.48 in ^2
B. 56.52 in ^ 2
C. 70.32 in. ^2
D. 79.74 in. ^2

Answer 1

Answer: 51.48 in²

Explanation:

108 - (28.26*2) = 108 - 56.52 = 51.48

Area of rectangle = 108 in²

12*9 = 108

Area of each circle = 28.26 in²

12/2 = 6

Diameter = 6

Radius = 6/2

Radius = 3

Area = 3.14 * (3²) = 3.14*9 = 28.26
