I may have typed it in wrong, because I got the wrong answer for it. I got 2.29

campbell_st · Answer

the area of the circle is approx 78 metres squared.... then find the fraction of it 

the fraction is 105/360, should be around 25 m^2

thats my best guess without a calculator

campbell_st · Answer

between 21 and 25

anonymous · Answer

Well, that narrows it down nicely. Lol. If I use that formula, should it give me a number between that?

Ok... This is so freaking weird. I just moved the decimal place over and got 22.91. That answer is correct... Don't have a clue where it came from, but gosh, I'm glad it's right. XD
