The circular area covered by a cell phone tower can be represented by the expression 225π miles2. What is the approximate length of the diameter of this circular area

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of the diameter of this circular area is of 30 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circular region can be represented by the following equation:

[tex]A = \pi r^{2}[/tex]

In which r is the radius. The diameter is twice the radius.

In this question:

[tex]A = 225\pi[/tex]

So

[tex]A = \pi r^{2}[/tex]

[tex]225\pi = \pi r^{2}[/tex]

[tex]r^{2} = 225[/tex]

[tex]r = \pm \sqrt{225}[/tex]

The radius is a positive measure, so

[tex]r = 15[/tex]

Area in squared miles, so the radius in miles.

What is the approximate length of the diameter of this circular area

D = 2r = 2*15 = 30 miles

The length of the diameter of this circular area is of 30 miles.
