radius after 24 hrs
= 500(24) = 12000 m or 12 km
area after 24 hrs
= π(12)^2 = 144π square km
radius after 48 hrs
= 500(48) = 24000 m - 24 km
area after 48 hrs
= π(24^2) = 576 km^2
growth of spill between 24 hrs and 48 hrs
= 432 km^2
A circular oil spill is spreading over the surface of a
lake. The circle’s radius grows by 500 meters every hour.
How many square kilometers did the spill grow between
24 hours and 48 hours?

But why would you subtract the 576 and 144. and plus to find the circumference you were supposed to times the 576 by pi and the 144 by pi
just multiply the answer reiny got by pi
I agree with tbetzz
