A storm is expected to hit 7 mi in every direction from a small town. What is the area that the storm will affect? (Use 3.14 for π)

Answer 1

The area affected by the storm can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle:

Area = π x radius^2

Given that the storm will hit 7 miles in every direction, the radius of the affected area is 7 miles.

Plugging in the values:

Area = 3.14 x (7)^2
Area = 3.14 x 49
Area = 153.86 square miles

Therefore, the storm is expected to affect an area of approximately 153.86 square miles.
