At a carnival Kelsey gets to spin a prize wheel it has the diameter of 34 inches what is the prize wheels area

1 answer

The radius of the prize wheel is half the diameter, which is 17 inches.

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14.

So, the area of the prize wheel is:

A = πr^2
A = 3.14 x 17^2
A = 3.14 x 289
A = 907.06 square inches

Therefore, the prize wheel's area is approximately 907.06 square inches.
