How much area does one of Lunar Flashlight's lasers cover in a single pulse?
(use meters squared for units)

1 answer

To solve this, we can use the formula for the area of a circle:

Area = π * r^2

Where r is the radius of the circle covered by the laser. Since Lunar Flashlight's laser covers a circular area, we can calculate the area covered by the laser in a single pulse by knowing the radius of the circle.

We can also use the formula for the circumference of a circle to find the radius if we know the diameter of the circle:

Circumference = 2 * π * r

Given the diameter of Lunar Flashlight's laser coverage, we can divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius. Then we can plug the radius into the formula for the area of a circle to calculate the area covered by the laser in a single pulse.
