Question

When Elyse moved last weekend, the circular glass top for an end table broke. To replace it, she bought a circular glass top with a diameter of 18 inches.

What is the approximate area of the circular glass top Elyse bought? (Use 3.14 for n .)






1,017.36 in2





113.04 in2





56.52 in2





254.34 in2

Answer 2

Area of a circle = pi*r^2, where r is the radius
Since you are given diameter, the diameter is 2*r
So, for the area of a circle with diameter 18in:
A=3.14(18/2)^2
=3.14(9)^2
=3.14(81)
=254.34in^2
