A bucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. The paint flow can be expressed with the function r(t) = 3t, where t represents time in minutes and r represents how far the paint is spreading. The flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. The area of the pattern can be expressed as A(r) = πr2. Part A: Find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or A[r(t)]. Show your work. (6 points) Part B: How large is the area of spilled paint after 10 minutes? You may use 3.14 to approximate π in this problem. (4 points)
i dont understand this one at all

\[r(t) = 3t \] \[A(r) = \pi*r^{2}\] so we need to find the area spilled as a function of time. since r = 3t, we can easily plug this equation into the second equation. \[A(r) = \pi*r^{2}\] \[A(t) = \pi*(3t)^{2}\] \[A(t) = \pi*9t^{2}\] now you can express the area in terms of time (t)
we've now built the appropriate function, do you get what I did?
@fantageplayer
yah
i think
so you can easily just plug in now t = 10 minutes into the new equation that we've built.
282.74334
? im not so sure
solving for a: at=(3.141593)(9)t2 Divide both sides by t. at t = 28.274334t2 t a=28.274334t Answer: a=28.274334t then if t=10 then a=282.74334
