Given:
Diameter of the hole = 30 cm
To find:
The area of the hole.
Solution:
The radius of a circle is always half of the diameter. It is given that the diameter of the hole is 30 cm. So, the radius of the hole is:
[tex]r=\dfrac{30}{2}[/tex]
[tex]r=15[/tex]
Area of a circle is:
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
Putting [tex]\pi = 3.14[/tex] and [tex]r=15[/tex] in the above formula, we get
[tex]A=(3.14)(15)^2[/tex]
[tex]A=(3.14)(225)[/tex]
[tex]A=706.5[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the hold is 706.5 square cm.
