Question

Show enough work to justify your solutions.A circular cookie cutter has a 2.5-inch radius. What is the area of a cookie cut from this cutter?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

The area of a circular cookie is given by the following expression:

$Area_{cookie\text{ cutter}}=\pi r^2$

Where r = radius = 2.5 inches

Pluging in the terms into the expression:

$Area_{cookie\text{ cutter}}=\pi *(2.5)^2$

Computing the power:

$Area_{cookie\text{ cutter}}=3.14*6.25$

Multiplying numbers:

$Area_{cookie\text{ cutter}}=19.625in^2$

In conclusion, the area of the cookie is 19.625in^2
