Question

A circle is cut from a square piece of cloth, as shown: How many square inches of cloth are cut from the square? (π = 3.14)

A.) 1,061.32 in2
B.) 2,122.64 in2
C.) 2,704.00 in2
D.) 3,622.31 in2

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

2,122.64 in2

Answer 2

2122.64 in^2

Explanation:

Use the formula for the area of a circle: A=πr^2

The radius will be half the width of the cloth so 52÷2=26

26^2=676

Multiply by π given as 3.14

676×3.14=2122.64 square inches.
