Question

The diameter of his friend's similar wand is 4.5 millimeters shorter than the diameter of Arun's wand. How much wire did his friend need to make the circular part of his wand? Use 3.14 for T. Round to the nearest hundredth.​

Answer 1

15.9 mm²

Explanation:

We solve using Area of the circle formula

Area of a circle = πr²

Diameter of his friend's wand = 4.5mm

Radius = 4.5mm/2

= 2.25 mm

How much wire did his friend need to make the circular part of his wand? Use 3.14 for π

= 3.14 × (2.25mm)²

= 15.89625 mm²

Approximately = 15.9 mm²
