A circular play mat has a diameter of 6 feet.
Part B What is the area in square feet, of the play mat rounded to the nearest hundredth? Use 3.14 for
.
square feet
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius (half of the diameter).
Given that the diameter is 6 feet, the radius (r) would be half of that, which is 3 feet.
Now we can calculate the area:
A = 3.14 x (3)^2
A = 3.14 x 9
A = 28.26
So, the area of the play mat is 28.26 square feet rounded to the nearest hundredth.
