Question

Tyree is ordering drink coasters with the school logo printed on the top. The coasters are circular with a radius of 1.75 inches. What is the area of each coaster? (Use 3.14 for π)

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a circle is:

A = πr^2

where A is the area and r is the radius.

Substituting the given values:

A = 3.14 x 1.75^2

A = 3.14 x 3.0625

A = 9.625625

Rounding to two decimal places:

A ≈ 9.63

Therefore, the area of each coaster is approximately 9.63 square inches.
