Answer:
678.24 sq inches
Explanation:
The diameter of our giant circle is 6ft, so the radius is half of that. The radius is 3 feet.
The area of the circle is:
Area_circle
= pi • r^2
= pi • 3^2
= 9pi
They said to use 3.14 for pi.
= 9(3.14)
= 28.26 square feet
BUT we are looking for the area of a sector. "sector" means like a pie slice of the circle. So we can divide the area of the whole circle into 6 pieces. Divide by 6.
Area_sector
= 28.26/6
= 4.71
BUT they wanted the measure in square inches and we have calculated square feet.
There are 144 sq inches in 1 sq foot.
4.71 × 144
= 678.24 sq inches
