Answer:
961.625 ≈ 962
Explanation:
(A WHEEL IS A CIRCLE!)
To find the area of a circle, you must multiply the radius by itself twice, then, multiply the product by pi (radius x radius x pi).
Here, only the diameter is shown.
To find the radius, we must divide the diameter by 2.
35 / 2 = 17.5
17.5 is the radius.
17.5 x 17.5 = 306.25.
**3.14 is commonly used for pi**
Lastly, we multiply the product by pi.
306.25 x 3.14 = 961.625
961.625 rounded to the nearest foot is 962.
Therefore, the area of the wheel is 962 feet.
