Question

Rafael is building a circular table with a diameter of 2.5 feet. The wood costs $32.50 per square foot. How much will it cost Rafael to make the table? Use 3.14 to approximate π. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

159.45 dollars

Explanation:

diamiter of table = 2.5 feet

radius of table = 2.5/2 = 1.25

area of the circular table = π r ²

= 3.14 x 1.25^2

= 4.9 feet²

Given rate of wood = $ 32.5 per square feet

rate of 4.9 square feet wood = 32.5 x 4.9

= $ 159.45

Answer 2

If each square foot cost $32.50, then the wood will cost $32.50 * 4.90625 = $159.45 :)
