A cylindrical water tower has a radius of 3-5 yards. The top of the water tower is a circle. What is the area of the
circular water tower top? (Recall that the area of a circle is , wherer is the radius.)
8-15
A.
(69–1615) square yards
B.
(69 - 8/5)
square yards
C. 697 square yards
D.
69 +16/5
square yards​

Answer:

Replace the radius into the equation and compute the area

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is computed as follows:

area of a circle = π*r²

where r is the radius of the circle.

I cannot understand which radius has the circle. In the case that r = 3 yards, the area is:

area of a circle = π*(3)² = 28.3 yd²

And in the case that r = 5 yards, the area is:

area of a circle = π*5² = 78.5 yd²
