Question

A circle is cut from a square piece of cloth, as shown:

How many square inches of cloth would the circle create?

Answer 1

Answer:

1808.64 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is 48 inches, thus the radius is 24 inches.

The cloth created is equivalent to the area of the circle.

The area for a circle is $\pi r^2$.

Plugging in the numbers you have:

a = $\pi r^2$ = 3.14 * 24^2 = 1808.64 in^2.
