Let
r------> the radius of the circular tabletop
we know that
[tex]r\geq 6\ in[/tex]
[tex]r\leq23\ in[/tex]
so
[tex]6\ in \leq r \leq 23\ in[/tex]
The area of a circle is equal to
[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]
where
r is the radius of the circle
Part a) What is the smallest possible area of the tabletop that will fit on Timothy’s table base?
we know that
the smallest possible area of the tabletop is for [tex]r=6\ in[/tex]
Substitute the value of r in the formula
[tex]A=\pi 6^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A=113.09\ in^{2}[/tex]
Round to the nearest whole square inch
so
[tex]A=113\ in^{2}[/tex]
therefore
the answer part a) is
the smallest possible area of the tabletop is [tex]113\ in^{2}[/tex]
Part b) What is the largest possible area of the tabletop that will fit on Timothy’s table base?
we know that
the largest possible area of the tabletop is for [tex]r=23\ in[/tex]
Substitute the value of r in the formula
[tex]A=\pi 23^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A=1,661.90\ in^{2}[/tex]
Round to the nearest whole square inch
so
[tex]A=1,662\ in^{2}[/tex]
therefore
the answer part b) is
the largest possible area of the tabletop is [tex]1,662\ in^{2}[/tex]
The smallest possible area of the tabletop is [tex]113\, inches^{2}[/tex].
The largest possible area of the tabletop is [tex]1662\, inches^{2}[/tex]
Given: The radius (r) of a circular tabletop
[tex]6\leq r\leq 23[/tex]
The area of a circle is given by
[tex]Area=\pi r^{2}[/tex]
Where, r is the radius of a circular tabletop
(1) For the smallest possible area of the tabletop
r = 6 inches
[tex]Area = \pi r^{2} \\Area=3.14\times 6^{2} \\Area=113.097\,inches^{2}[/tex]
Round to the nearest whole square inch
[tex]Area=113\,inches^{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the smallest possible area of the tabletop is [tex]113\, inches^{2}[/tex].
(2) For the largest possible area of the tabletop
r = 23 inches
[tex]Area=\pi \times (23)^{2} \\Area=3.14 \times 529\\Area=1661.90\,inches^{2}[/tex]
Round to the nearest whole square inch
[tex]Area=1662\,inches^{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the largest possible area of the tabletop is [tex]1662\, inches^{2}[/tex]
