Tom bought a round tablecloth with a diameter of 6 feet. What is the tablecloth's area?

Question

Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
square feet

Answer 1

To find the area of a round tablecloth, we use the formula A = π*r^2, where r is the radius of the tablecloth.

Since the diameter is given as 6 feet, the radius is half of that, which is 6/2 = 3 feet.

Substituting this value into the formula, we get A = π*(3)^2

Evaluating this expression, we get A ≈ 3.14*(3)^2 ≈ 3.14*9 ≈ 28.26.

Therefore, the tablecloth's area is approximately 28.26 square feet.
