A storm is expected to hit 7 mi in every direction from a small town. What is the area that the storm will affect? (Use 3.14 for π)
The area affected by the storm can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle:
Area = π x radius^2
Given that the storm will hit 7 miles in every direction, the radius of the affected area is 7 miles.
Plugging in the values:
Area = 3.14 x (7)^2
Area = 3.14 x 49
Area = 153.86 square miles
Therefore, the storm is expected to affect an area of approximately 153.86 square miles.
