Question

Chris needs to recover his drumhead. The drumhead's circumference is 40.82 inches. What is the area of the drumhead that needs to be covered? 1. 6.5 to the power of 2 (inches) 2. 132.67 to the power of 2 (inches) 3. 128.17 to the power of 2 (inches) 4. 64.09 to the power of 2 (inches)

Answer 1

Answer: 132.67 to the power of 2 (inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given as 2πr. Therefore, in his case,

2πr = 40.82

2 × 3.142 × r = 40.82

6.284r = 40.82

radius = 40.82/6.284

radius = 6.5 inches

Area will now be:

= πr²

= 3.142 × 6.5²

= 3.142 × 42.25

= 132.75 inches²

Therefore, the closest answer will be 132.67 to the power of 2 (inches).
