Question

A flower pot has a diameter of 6 feet. What is the area of the flower pot, to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

28 ft²

Explanation:

The area of a circle is
`\pi r^2`, where r = radius. To find the radius, we split the diameter in half.

• 6/2 = 3
• Thus, the radius is 3.

Now, let's find the area of the circle and approximate pi to 3.14.

• 
  `3.14*3^2`
• 
  `3.14*9`
• 
  `28.26`
• 28.26 ≈ 28 ft²

Therefore, the answer is 28 ft².
