Question

A circle with a 12-inch diameter is folded in half and then folded in half again. What is the area of the resulting shape? Round the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

A=28

Explanation:

the area of a circle is pi*r^2

so if you fold it into fourths then its the same equation just multiplied by 1/4 because you are finding the area of 1/4 of the circle.

A=1/4*
`\pi`*6^2

A=28.274334
