Question

URGENT: The seventh-grade class is building target areas for a PE activity. The bases for the game will be circular in shape. The diameter of each circle is 5 feet. Approximately how many square feet of the turf need to be painted for a base circle? Use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest tenth. @umm @TheSmartOne

Answer 1

Is there answer choices to this, or self answered?

Answer 2

there are choices
15.7 square feet
19.6 square feet
42.8 square feet
78.6 square feet

Answer 3

Okay. Do you know what the area of the circle would be?

I'm trying to break it down for you to understand, since knowingly direct answers aren't allowed.

Answer 4

are yes

Answer 5

i ment i do know what it is

Answer 6

Okay - so the formula is A = πr2 (pi times squared r). So, in other words, you cut the diameter in half (5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 feet) and do this: 2.5 × 2.5 (this is the squared 2.5).

Answer 7

2.5×2.5=6.25

Answer 8

6.25×3.14=19.625

Answer 9
