Question

CAN YOU ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS PLEASEE

A circular stage has a radius of 8ft. flynn wants to paint a red line along the edge of the stage. he calculates its approximate circumference this way: 3.14(8)(8)= 3.14(64) = 200.96.(a) what error did he make in his calculation?


(b)flynn also wants to paint the the stage floor. one quart of paint covers 75 square feet of space. what is the fewest quarts of pain flynn will need?

Answer 1

a) He calculated the area, not the circumference. The equation for the area of a circle is πr², while the equation for the circumference is 2πr.

b) He would need at least 3 quarts of paint. 200.96/75≈2.68 He would need that approximately 2.68 quarts of paint, but I suppose the question is asking you the least amount of whole number quarts of paint. The answer for that would then be 3.
