Answer:
In this case, the area is more useful to find out how much the paint covers.
This is, because the circumference is the perimeter of the table whilst the area is the whole region of the table.
So to find out the area of this table, we must use the formula for the area of a regular circle.
A = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]
Where 'π' represents pi(22/7 or 3.14), and 'r' represents the radius which is being squared.
But, if we see the information that we have, we can see that it gives the diameter and not the radius.
So in order to find out our radius, we must perform 1/2 of the diameter(1/2 x diameter) to find the radi.
30(diameter) x 1/2
= 15 is the radius.
Now we substitute this value into our equation, since it's the only information we need.
A = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]
A = 3.14(15^2)
A = 3.14(225)
A = 706.5 square inches of paint is needed to cover the table.
