Question

This famous clock tower has a clock face with a diameter of 23 feet. What is the approximate area of this clock face

Answer 1

Therefore the approximate area of this clock face is 415.3 feet².

Explanation:

Given:

Clock is of Circular Shape,

Diameter = 23 feet

`Radius =r =(diameter)/(2)=(23)/(2)=11.5\ feet`

To Find :

Area of Clock Face = ?

Solution:

Area of Circle having Radius 'r' is given as,

`\textrm{Area of Circle}=\pi r^(2)`

Substituting the values we get

`\textrm{Area of Clock Face}=3.14* (11.5)^(2)=415.265=415.3\ feet^(2)`

Therefore the approximate area of this clock face is 415.3 feet².
