A circular table has the DIAMETER OF 48". The table can be enlarged by insterting two rectangular leaves each 18"wide and 48" long. What is the AREA of the expanded table? Round to nearest tenth....HELP!!! :)

Question

campbell_st · Answer

won't the new area be

Area of the circle + area of the rectangles that are added 

for the circle you need to radius. The question only gives a diameter

so the total area is 

$$Area = \pi r^2 + 2 \times length \times width$$

hope this helps.
