Justin wants to cover the top of a circular swimming pool to keep insects out of the pool. If the diameter of the pool is 20 feet, what will be the area of the top of the cover (the portion of the cover that covers the surface of the pool)?

Respuesta :

Answer: The area is approximately 314 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if the diameter is 20  feet then the radius will be 10 because the radius is half the diameter, and to find the area of a circle, you use the formula

A= [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]  where A is the area and pi times the radius squared.

We will represent pi by 3.14  

A= 3.14* 10^2

A= 3.14 * 100

A = 314
