Question

Find the area of the circle

Answer 1

1.77 ft²

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a circle :

A = πr²

First, let us find the radius of the circle.

Given that,

diameter ⇒ 1.5 ft

d = 2r

1.5 = 2r

Divide both sides by 2.

0.75 = radius

Now, let us find the area of the circle.

A = πr²

A = 3.142 × 0.75 × 0.75

A = 1.767 ft²

A ≈ 1.77 ft²

Answer 2

A = 1.77 ft^2

Explanation:

The circle has a diameter of 1.5 ft

We need the radius

r = d/2 = 1.5/2 = .75 ft

The area of a circle is

A = pi r^2

A = 3.14 ( .75)^2 = 1.76625

To the nearest hundredth

A = 1.77 ft^2
