Molly's alarm clock fell to the floor and the glass face was broken. Molly measured the glass face so that she could order a new one. The radius of the circle-shaped glass face is 5 centimeters. What is the approximate area of the glass face? (Use 3.14 for .) 31.4 cm2 314 cm2 78.5 cm2 15.7 cm2

@inowalst

OpenStudy (inowalst):

The radius is half of the diameter. Double the radius. Then multiply that by 3.14.

OpenStudy (logan13):

idk

OpenStudy (logan13):

what is half the radius

OpenStudy (inowalst):

It says the radius is 5. Double 5. What do you get?

OpenStudy (logan13):

55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5^2 * pi =...?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

If you double 5.. Double means 2. Multiply 5 times 2. What do you get?

OpenStudy (logan13):

10

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Good. Now multiply that times 3.14.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5^{2} \times \]

OpenStudy (inowalst):

No. 5 to the second power is 5 times 5 which is 25. We need to find, 5 times 2.

OpenStudy (logan13):

78.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Used the equation editor wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Meh, i hate my internet, -_-. Ino is right

OpenStudy (inowalst):

@logan13 Did you multiply 10 times 3.14? The answer is not 78.5.

OpenStudy (logan13):

yes it is

OpenStudy (inowalst):

10 times 3.14 is not 78.5. Think of the 10 as a 1, without the zero. Your answer is 3.14, but you have to move the decimal one place to the left. Your answer is 31.4.
