Answer: 803.84 inch²
Explanation:
The lid will take the appearance of a circle so the area of the lid is the same as the area of a circle:
Area of a circle = π * radius²
The circumference of a circle is:
= π * diameter
Looking at the above, the diameter is 32inches because this is the figure to be multiplied with π = 3.14 to find the circumference.
Since diameter is 32, radius will be:
= 32 / 2
= 16 inches
Area = 3.14 * 16 * 16
= 803.84 inch²
