Patricia has a circular swimming pool. The diameter of the pool is 15 feet. What is the area of the swimming pool.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of the pool is 176.71

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a triangle is Area= Pi r (radius) sq.

In this problem, you need to remember that radius is half the diameter.

STEP 1: Divide the diameter in half.

STEP 2: Multiply your answer by itself. (example: if your answer was 8, you would multiply by 8)

STEP 3: Multiply the answer by 3.14 (or Pi)

STEP 4: You just found the area of a circle, GREAT JOB!

given:

diameter= 15 feet

to find:

the area of the circular swimming pool.

solution:

[tex]a = \frac{1}{4} \pi {d}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{1}{5} \times \pi \times {15}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]a = 176.71459 \: {ft}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]a = 176.71 \: {ft}^{2} [/tex]

therefore, the area of the circular swimming pool is 176.71 square feets.
