Question

Isaac is cutting wood to build a clock. He wants the clock to have a long hand that extends from the center to the edge of the clock face. What must the approximate area of the face be if the hand he is using is 6 inches long? Use three point one four for pi.

Answer 1

If the long hand of the clock is 6 in, it would represent the radius of the clock.

Area of a Circle: A=πr^2

3.14(6)^2=113.04in.
