I don't understand this :( Taylor is making a cookie cake that has a diameter of 15 in. What is the area of a fourth of the cookie cake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the area of the cookie (pi r^2) and divide by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like how ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, find the radius first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you find it by dividing the diameter in half.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how i find the radius?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like I said, you take the diameter (15in) and divide it in half (by 2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you done that yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you divide the 15 by 2, not multiply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh sorry is 7.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. now take that and put it in this equation \[2Pir ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\times3.14\times7.5^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 94.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now divide that by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23.55 i got
