What is the approximate area of a circle enclosed by a piece of rope 69.08 inches long? (Use the fact that π≈3.14 to make your calculations.)
Added by Deborah C.
Step 1
So we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle: C = 2πr where C is the circumference, π is the constant pi, and r is the radius of the circle. We can rearrange this formula to solve for the radius: r = C / 2π Now we can plug in the given value Show more…
