a circular mirror has a diameter of 12 inches.what is the area, in square inches, of the mirror.
Area of a Circle = (pi)(radius)(radius)
radius = (diameter)/2 = 12 / 2 = 6
Area of this Circle = (pi)(6)(6) = 36 pi
Answer: 36 pi , 113.04 (if using 3.14 as pi) , or 113.01 (if using actual pi)
Answer: The area of the mirror is 113.14 sq. inches [approx.].
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a circular can till 375 ft² of land in 15 min.
We are to find the area of the mirror in square inches.
The AREA of a circle with radius 'r' units is given by
\(A=\pi r^2.\)
The diameter of the circular mirror is 12 inches, so the radius of the mirror will be
\(r=\dfrac{12}{2}=6~\textup{inches}.\)
Therefore, the area of the circular mirror is
\(A=\pi r^2=\frac{22}{7}\times 6^2=\dfrac{22\times 36}{7}=113.14~\textup{sq inches}~\textup{[approx.]}\)
Thus, the area of the mirror is 113.14 sq. inches [approx.].
