## anonymous one year ago The seventh-grade class is building target areas for a PE activity. The bases for the game will be circular in shape. The diameter of each circle is 5 feet. Approximately how many square feet of the turf need to be painted for a base circle? Use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest tenth. 15.7 square feet 19.6 square feet 42.8 square feet 78.6 square feet

im lookin at it

3. anonymous

do u want me to show u how i got it

4. anonymous

Yes plz

5. anonymous

They are asking for the area of the circle. Do u know it?

6. anonymous

FYI it's Area=$\pi * radius ^{2}$

r u there @beckyg111

i dont think she's there anymore but ill go on

Sorry i took like a small nap im sick today

10. anonymous

its okay. so as i was saying, pi = 3.14. and FYI radius is half the diameter. so that means radius is 2.5

im sorry could u forgive me for this one time

15. anonymous

as i was saying, so that means our equation will be Area = $3.14 * 2.5^{2}$

becky r u listening

so just solve the equation and you will get the answer
