Question

South School has a circular pattern on the playground that has a radius of 6 feet. Find a. the circumference of the pattern and b. the area of the pattern. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

Circumference: 37.68

Area: 113.04

Explanation:

the formula to find the circumference is 2 x 3.14 x r

r is the radius so you plug in 6 for that

2 x 3.14 x 6 = 37.68

the formula to find the area of a circle is 3.14 x r ²

r is still the radius so you plug in 6 for that

3.14 x 6² = 113.04
