Tyler is painting polkadots on a wall. He paints 12 circles with a diameter of 2 inches what is the total area covered by polkadots use use 3.14 for pi, and round your answer to the nearest tenth
The area of each circle can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2
Since the diameter is 2 inches, the radius (r) is half of that, which is 1 inch.
Thus, the area of each circle is: A = 3.14 * (1)^2 = 3.14 square inches.
Since Tyler painted 12 circles, the total area covered by polkadots is: 12 * 3.14 = 37.68 square inches.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the total area covered by polkadots is 37.7 square inches.
