What is the area of the top surface of a circular manhole cover that has a radius of 30 centimeters? Use 3.14 for π.
Given:
radius = 30 cm
π = 3.14
Find: Area of the top surface of a circular manhole cover.
Area of a circle = π r²
Area of a circle = 3.14 (30cm)²
= 3.14 900 cm²
Area of a circle = 2,826 cm²
The area of the top surface of a circular manhole cover is 2,826 cm²
Area for a circle is π r² (pi equals r squared)
3.14 30cm²
3.14 900 cm²
2,826 cm²
Answer: 2,826 cm squared.
