Question

The floor of James's living room is 12 feet by 18 feet. What is the area, in square feet, of the largest circular rug that can fit in James's living room? (use 3.14 for n)

Answer 1

The area of the largest circular rug will be found by finding the area of a circle that has a diameter of 12 feet. This would be the maximum length you could fit a rug across completely.

A = pi x r^2
3.14 x 6^2
A = 113.04 square feet

The largest rug that would fit has an approximate area of 113.04 square feet.
