The circular surface of a table has a diameter of 3 ft. What will cost to have the top refinished if the company charges $5 per square foot for the refinishing? Use 3.14 for and round your answer to the nearest cent.

See my response below.

To get the cost of refinishing the table top, we first need to find the area of the circular surface.

The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.

Given that the diameter of the table top is 3 ft, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2: r = 3 ft / 2 = 1.5 ft.

Now we can calculate the area of the circular surface using the formula: A = 3.14 * (1.5 ft)^2 = 3.14 * 2.25 ft^2 = 7.065 ft^2.

Next, we multiply the area by the cost per square foot to find the total cost: Cost = 7.065 ft^2 * $5/ft^2 ≈ $35.33.

Therefore, it will cost approximately $35.33 to have the top of the table refinished.
