Question
The city is putting a fountain at the entrance of the park. A scale drawing of the fountain is shown below.

A circle with a radius of 2


Scale
1 in. : 4 ft


What is the area of the fountain in square feet?
Responses
A 4πœ‹4 πœ‹
B 16πœ‹16 πœ‹
C 64πœ‹64 πœ‹
D 128πœ‹

B 16πœ‹16 πœ‹

Area of a circle = Ο€r^2
Area = Ο€(2)^2
Area = 4Ο€

Using the scale factor of 1 in. : 4 ft, the area in square feet would be 4^2 * 4Ο€ = 16Ο€, which corresponds to option B.
