Assume in the movie Twister that the path of the tornado showed that the vortex had a radius of 26.4 meters when it touched down. What was the area of the circular region covered by the tornado when it touched down? Round to the nearest hundredth of a square meter. Use 3.14 for π

Step 1
4 meters. We can use the formula: A = πr^2 where A is the area and r is the radius. Plugging in the values, we get: A = 3.14 x (26.4)^2 A = 2,182.34 square meters Show more…
