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 7 inches long? Use three point one four for pi

Do you have an idea of the answer? Trying to help you, not just give you the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=πr2 where r is the radius (distance from center to edge, just like a clock hand) and according to your problem statement, you should use π≈3.14 for your calculation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So. Use A=(3.14)(7)2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he value of \pi has an infinite number of digits, so 78.5 is just the approximate answer, but there are limits to how accurately one can measure and cut wood :-)
