Kelsey has a circular flowerbed that is 5 meters in diameter and has a circular sidewalk around it 1 meter wide. Find the area in square meters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, together they would have a diameter of 6 meters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area of a circle = (pi) r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If diameter = 6, do you know what radius equals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O.k. so the radius is half the diameter therefore it's 3 meters?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that's right. So put that into the formula for area of a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't know if it's right,but I got 28.27433..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be 9pi, so that should be right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 9 pi?
