Question

At a campground, a rectangular fire pit is 3 feet by 2 feet. What is the area of the largest circular fire that

can be made in this fire pit? Use 3.14 for it. Round to the nearest square Inch.

Answer 1

The area of the largest circular fire pit is 452 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at a campground, a rectangular fire pit is 3 feet by 2 feet

The radius is given by 1 feet.

Area:

The area of the largest circular fire is given by

`A=\pi r^2`

Substituting the values in the formula, we get,

`A=(3.14)1^2`

`A=3.14 \ ft^2`

Thus, the area of the largest circular fire is 3.14 square feet.

To convert feet to inches:

The feet can be converted into inches by multiplying by 12.

Thus, we have,

`1 \ft= 12 \ inches`

Hence, we have,

`Area= 3.14* 12^2`

Simplifying,we get,

`Area= 3.14*144`

`Area=452.16 \ in^2`

Rounding off to the nearest square inch.

Thus, we have,

`Area= 452 \ in^2`

Thus, the area of the largest circular fire pit is 452 square inches.
