Question

Manuel wants to build a model of Captain America's famous shield out of cardboard. The outer ring of the shield is colored red. The next ring is white. The third ring is also red. The center is blue with a white star. The radius of the whole shield is 14 inches. However, Manuel just wants to know the area of the space he needs to paint red. Use 3.14 for Pi. Round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

615.44 in²

Explanation:

The shape of Captain America's shield = Circular

The area of a circle = πr²

The radius of the whole shield = 14 inches.

The first ring = Red ring

Hence, the area of the red ring =

π = 3.14

3.14 × 14²

= 615.44 in²

The area of the space he needs to paint red is 615.44 in²
