Question

A table with a round top is cut in half so that it can be used against a wall. After it is cut, the edge along the wall
is 6 feet.
What is the area A of the table after it is cut in half?

Answer 1

The answer I have found is 3

Answer 2

Answer:

14.13^2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a circle is pi*r^2.

If the diameter is 6 feet then the radius is 3 feet.

The formula is 3.14*3^2.

3 squared is 9.

3.14*9=28.26. But the table is cut in half so divide 28.26 by 2 and the answer is 14.13.
