A circular plate has circumference 23.9 inches. What is the area of this plate?

Answer:
Rounded to the nearest thousandth: ≈45.479
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding area using circumference is
[tex]\frac{c^2}{4\pi }[/tex]
c=23.9"
[tex]\frac{23.9^2}{4\pi }[/tex]
Since we're using 3.14 for pi, multiply 4 by 3.14, and continue from there.
[tex]\frac{23.9^2}{4(3.14)} = \frac{571.21}{12.56} = 45.47850318[/tex]
but we don't use that big number! We round to the nearest thousandth!
≈45.479
Answer:
46 inches^{2}
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a circle is [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
To work this out you would first need to divide 23.9 by pi to find out diameter.
Then you would divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius. Then you would multiply pi by the radius squared.
1) Divide 23.9 by [tex]\pi[/tex].
[tex]23.9/\pi=7.608[/tex]
2) Divide 7.608 by 2.
[tex]7.608/2=3.804[/tex]
3) Multiply pi by the radius squared.
[tex]\pi *3.804^{2} =45.4601526[/tex]
4) Round To nearest whole number.
