A circular play mat has a diameter of 6 feet. Part B What is the area in square feet, of the play mat rounded to the nearest hundredth? Use
the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2
Given that the diameter of the play mat is 6 feet, the radius (r) is half of the diameter, so r = 6/2 = 3 feet.
Now calculate the area using the formula:
A = π(3)^2
A = π(9)
A = 28.27 square feet
Therefore, the area of the play mat rounded to the nearest hundredth is 28.27 square feet.
