At a campground, a rectangular fire pit is 3 feet by 2 feet. What is the area of the largest circular fire that
can be made in this fire pit? Use 3.14 for it. Round to the nearest square Inch.

Respuesta :

The area of the largest circular fire pit is 452 square inches.

Explanation:

Given that at a campground, a rectangular fire pit is 3 feet by 2 feet

The radius is given by 1 feet.

Area:

The area of the largest circular fire is given by

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

Substituting the values in the formula, we get,

[tex]A=(3.14)1^2[/tex]

[tex]A=3.14 \ ft^2[/tex]

Thus, the area of the largest circular fire is 3.14 square feet.

To convert feet to inches:

The feet can be converted into inches by multiplying by 12.

Thus, we have,

[tex]1 \ft= 12 \ inches[/tex]

Hence, we have,

[tex]Area= 3.14\times 12^2[/tex]

Simplifying,we get,

[tex]Area= 3.14\times144[/tex]

[tex]Area=452.16 \ in^2[/tex]

Rounding off to the nearest square inch.

Thus, we have,

[tex]Area= 452 \ in^2[/tex]

Thus, the area of the largest circular fire pit is 452 square inches.
