Answer:
Explanation:
A = πR²
top layer has a radius of
R = √(12.56/π) = 2 inches
The middle layer has a radius of 3 inches and an area of
A₂ = π3² = 9π in²
The bottom layer has a radius of 4 inches and an area of
A₃ = π4² = 16π in²
so the visible area on the bottom layer has an area of
16π - 9π = 7π in² or about 22 in²
