Kim’s pet Whiskers, has gone missing. Kim decides to post “lost cat” flyers within a 3 mile radius of her house. What is the area of the region that Kim is searching?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A = π9mi² or A = 28.3mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

Kim posting within a 3-mile RADIUS, means she will post within a circle with her house at the centre.

The formula for area of a circle is A = πr²

Substitute the radius and solve.

A = πr²

A = π(3mi)²    Square the miles and square the 3

A = π9mi²      Exact answer

A = 28.27.....mi²    Exact answer in decimals

A ≈ 28.3mi²  Answer rounded to one decimal place

Therefore Kim is searching in a 28.3mi² region.
