Answer:
144 π or 452.4 sq inches, for each dot
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the perimeter of the circle (24π), and we are asked to find the area of the circle basically.
The Circumference of a circle is given by C = 2 * π * r
while its area is given by A = π r²
So, having the circumference, we can isolate r to use it in the area calculation.
C = 2 * π * r
24π = 2 * π * r (now dividing both sides by 2π)
12 = r
The radius is 12 inches.
That means the area of one dot is:
A = π r² = π 12² = 144 π sq inches
The amount of blue glass needed for each dot is 144 π or 452.4 sq inches
