Question

Find the area of the figure to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Area = (angle/360)*pi*r^2


Area = (165/360)*pi*6^2


Area = (165/360)*pi*36


Area = (5940/360)*pi


Area = 16.5*pi


So the exact area is 16.5*pi square inches.


To find the approximate area, replace pi with 3.14159 to get roughly 16.5*3.14159 = 51.836235 square inches


So the approximate area to the nearest tenth is 51.8 square inches
