Question

The radius of a circular stage is 15 feet. Katie wants to lay down tile to cover the stage. If Katie pays $12.50 per square foot of tile, how much would it cost to tile the entire stage floor? Round to the nearest whole dollar.

Answer 1

$8835.75

Explanation:

The equation to use for this is for the area of a circle which is:

π r^2

So by plugging in 15 feet:

π 15^2,

π 225,

~706.86 ft^2.

Next, multiply this by the $12.50 per square foot.

706.86 * 12.50 = $8835.75

All done!
