Tyler is painting polkadots on a wall. He paints 12 circles with a diameter of 2 inches what is the total area covered by polkadots use use 3.14 for pi, and round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The area of each circle can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2

Since the diameter is 2 inches, the radius (r) is half of that, which is 1 inch.

Thus, the area of each circle is: A = 3.14 * (1)^2 = 3.14 square inches.

Since Tyler painted 12 circles, the total area covered by polkadots is: 12 * 3.14 = 37.68 square inches.

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the total area covered by polkadots is 37.7 square inches.
