Bot a classroom has four tables, each of equal size. When placed together, the tabletops form a circle with a diameter of 6 feet. What is the area, in square feet, of one if the tabletops?

Answer 1

To find the area of one tabletop, we need to find the radius of the circle formed by the table tops.

The formula for the diameter of a circle is 2 * radius. Therefore, the radius is 6 feet / 2 = 3 feet.

The formula for the area of a circle is A = π * r^2, where π is approximately 3.14 and r is the radius.

Substituting the values, we get A = 3.14 * (3 feet)^2 = 3.14 * 9 square feet = <<3.14*9=28.26>>28.26 square feet.

Therefore, the area of one tabletop is 28.26 square feet.
