a park has a hikinh trail in the shape of a circle. the trail as a circumference of 5 miles. how many square miles, to the nearest whole number, is the area inside the trail?
The area inside the trail would be equivalent to a circle with a circumference of 5 miles.
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius.
Since the circumference of the circle is 5 miles, we can find the radius using the formula C = 2πr.
5 = 2πr
r = 5 / 2π
r ≈ 0.7958 miles
Now, we can calculate the area of the circle using the radius:
A = π(0.7958)^2
A ≈ 1.989 square miles
Therefore, the area inside the trail is approximately 2 square miles.
