Question

A circular swimming pool at an apartment complex has diameter 50 feet. The apartment manager needs to purchase a tarp that will cover this pool completely, but the store will only sell the material in multiples of ten square yards. How many square yards will the manager need to buy?

Use 3.14 for $\pi$ .

Answer

The radius of the swimming pool is half the diameter, or 25 feet.

The area of the swimming pool is $\pi$ times the square of the radius, or

$\pi \times 25 ^{2} = 3.14 \times 625 = 1,962.5$ square feet, or

$1,962.5 \div 9 \approx 218$ square yards.

The manager will need to buy a number of square yards of tarp equal to the next highest multiple of ten, which is 220 square yards.

Question

A circular swimming pool at an apartment complex has diameter 30 meters. The apartment manager needs to purchase a tarp that will cover this pool completely, but the store will only sell the material in multiples of ten square meters. How many square yards will the manager need to buy?

Use 3.14 for $\pi$ .

Answer

The radius of the swimming pool is half the diameter, or 15 meters.

The area of the swimming pool is $\pi$ times the square of the radius, or

$\pi \times 15 ^{2} = 3.14 \times 225 = 706.5$ square meters.

The manager will need to buy a number of square yards of tarp equal to the next highest multiple of ten, which is 710 square meters.

Question

Give the circumference of the above circle. Assume each mark on each axis represents one unit.

Answer

The diameter of the circle - the distance from one point to the opposite point - is 10 units, so the circumference is this multiplied by $\pi$ , or $10 \pi$ .

Question

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of $12\pi$ ?

Answer

Be careful on several counts for this question. First, remember that you need the radius for calculating area. Therefore, since you know that the diameter is $12\pi$ , you can say that the radius is $6\pi$ .

Next, be very careful given that there is already a $\pi$ in your radius. The formula for the area of a circle is:

$A=\pi r^2$

For your data, this is:

$A=\pi (6\pi)^2=\pi * 36\pi^2=36\pi^3$

Question

Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 22cm.

Answer

To find the area of a circle, we will use the following formula:

$A = \pi \cdot r^2$

where r is the radius of the circle.

Now, we know the diameter of the circle is 22cm. We also know the diameter is two times the radius. Therefore, the radius is 11cm.

So, we can substitute. We get

$A = \pi \cdot (11\text{cm})^2$

$A = \pi \cdot 121\text{cm}^2$

$A = 121\pi \text{ cm}^2$

Question

Find the area of a circle with a radius of 8in.

Answer

To find the area of a circle, we will use the following formula:

$A = \pi \cdot r^2$

where r is the radius of the circle.

Now, we know the radius of the circle is 8in. So, we can substitute. We get

$A = \pi \cdot (8\text{in})^2$

$A = \pi \cdot 64\text{in}^2$

$A = 64\pi \text{ in}^2$

Question

Determine the area of a circle in square feet with a radius of 12 inches.

Answer

Write the formula for the area of a circle.

$A=\pi r^2$

Convert the radius to feet. There are 12 inches in a foot.

This means the radius in feet is 1.

Substitute the radius in feet to obtain the area in feet squared.

$A=\pi (1\textup{ ft})^2 = \pi \textup{ ft}^2$

The answer is: $\pi$

$\frac{100\pi}{2\pi}=\frac{2\pi r}{2\pi}$

Write the formula for the area of a circle.

$A=\pi r^2$

Substitute the radius into the equation.

$A=\pi (50)^2 = 2500\pi$

The answer is: $2500\pi$

Question

Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 26cm.

Answer

To find the area of a circle, we will use the following formula:

$A = \pi \cdot r^2$

where r is the radius of the circle.

Now, we know the diameter of the circle is 26cm. We also know the diameter is two times the radius. Therefore, the radius is 13cm.

So, we can substitute. We get

$A = \pi \cdot 169\text{cm}^2$

$A = 169\pi \text{ cm}^2$

Question

If the diameter of circle is $2\frac{1}{2}$ , what must be the area?

Answer

Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator with the whole number and adding the numerator. The denominator stays constant.

$2\frac{1}{2}\rightarrow \frac{5}{2}$

Write the formula for the area of a circle.

$A=\pi r^2$

The radius is half the diameter.

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{5}{2} = \frac{5}{4}$

$A=\pi (\frac{5}{4})^2=\pi (\frac{5}{4}) (\frac{5}{4}) = \frac{25}{16}\pi$

The answer is: $\frac{25}{16}\pi$
