Question

A circular mirror is surrounded by a square metal frame. The radius of the mirror is 2x. The side length of the metal frame is 8x. What is the area of the metal frame?

Answer 1

The answer is 183.43x 2 because of how it’s surrounded by a square frame and then the radius

Answer 2

183.43x2

Explanation:

Area of the entire frame = (14x)2 = 196x2

Area of the mirror = pi(2x)2 = 4x2(pi)

Area of the frame surrounding the mirror = (196 - 4pi)x2 = 183.43x2
