Question

The area of a circular fountain is 121π square feet.
What is the diameter of the fountain?

Answer 1

22 feet

Explanation:

The area of a circle is π · r².

So, step one is to figure out the radius, so taking that equation, we can say π · r² = 121π.

Divide both sides by π to get r² = 121

Then, you take the square root of both sides to leave r = 11.

The diameter is twice as long as the radius, so multiply 11 · 2 to get 22.

The diameter is 22 feet long.
