Answer:
3.14 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
the base of a candle is the shape of a circle
the area of the base can be determined by calculating the area of a circle
area of a circle = πr²
π= pi = 3.14
r = 2/2 = 1 inch
the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.
A radius is half of the diameter
3.14 x 1² = 3.14 in²
