The area of a quarter is about 1 inch. You trace around the edge of the quarter on a sheet of paper. What is the area of the circle on the paper. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pie. Round to the nearest tenth.
The area of a quarter is approximately 1 inch, which means the radius of the quarter is about 0.5 inches since the equation for the area of a circle is A = πr^2.
So, the area of the circle on the paper, which has the same radius as the quarter, would be:
A = π(0.5)^2
A = 3.14(0.25)
A = 0.785 square inches
Therefore, the area of the circle on the paper is approximately 0.8 square inches.
