Max is designing a hot tub for a local spa.
He wants the hot tub to have a diameter of 88 inches, What is the approximate area required for the installation of the hot tub? (Use 3.14 for .)
A.
6,079.04 in2
B.
12,158.08 in2
C.
24,316.16 in2
D.
276.32 in2
B. 12,158.08 in2
To find the area of the hot tub, we use the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2
The radius of the hot tub is half of the diameter, so the radius is 44 inches.
A = 3.14 * 44^2
A = 3.14 * 1936
A = 6,079.04
Therefore, the approximate area required for the installation of the hot tub is 12,158.08 in2.
