The diagram below shows the radius of a round dinner table.
Diameter is 2 meters
Which of the following is closest to the area of the table?
Responses
A 6.28 m²6.28 m²
B 1,256 m²1,256 m²
C 50.24 m²50.24 m²
D 12.56 m²
C 50.24 m²50.24 m²
To find the area of the table, we use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the table. Since the diameter is given as 2 meters, the radius would be half of that, which is 1 meter.
Plugging in the radius into the formula:
A = π(1)^2
A = π
Using the approximation of π as 3.14, we get:
A ≈ 3.14
So, the closest answer is 50.24 m².
