Question

South School has a circular pattern on the playground has a radius of 6 ft find A the circumference of the pattern and B the area of the pattern use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

Use the equations for the circumference and the area of a circle

For the circumference:

$\begin{gathered} P=2\pi\cdot r \\ P=2\cdot(3.14)\cdot6 \\ P=37.68 \end{gathered}$

The circumference is 37.68 ft.

For the area

$\begin{gathered} A=\pi\cdot r^2 \\ A=3.14\cdot(6)^2 \\ A=113.04 \end{gathered}$

The area is 113.04 ft.
