Okay, so what they are wanting you to do here is to find the area of the table on the left and compare it to the table on the right. To do this, use this formula: πr²=A
Then add the area of the rectangle to this total. Use the same formula for the other table also.
4²π ≈ 50.27 4 x 8 = 32 50.27 + 32 = 82.27 This is the area of the first table.
5²π ≈ 78.54 There is the area of the second table.
So, the area of the first table is about 3.73 in.² larger than the second table.
There is your answer!
