Question

A contractor is tiling the bottom of a round fish pond with 1-inch square tiles that cost $0.04 each. the fishpond has a diameter of 120 inches. how much will he spend on tiles?

Answer 1

To find out how much the contractor will spend on tiles, you will need to find the area of the circular space.

Use the formula for finding area of a circle.

A = pi x r^2
3.14 x 60^2
A= 11,304 in.².


Multiply this by $0.04 per square inch.

11304 x 0.04 = $452.16

The cost is $452.16.
