Question

The diameter of the logo at the center of a basketball court is 10 feet. What is the area of the logo?

Answer 1

≈78.539816 ft²

≈78.54 ft²

Explanation:

Since the logo is in the shape of a circle, the area can be found with the formula:

• πr²

To find r, divide the diameter of the circle by 2 (r stands for radius, the length from the center of the circle to the edge):

• 10÷2=5

Now that all variables are known, complete the equation to find the area:

• πr²
• π(5)²
• (PEMDAS, use the exponents first)
• 25 × π
• ≈78.539816 ft² or ≈78.54 ft²
