A wall clock has a circumference of 37.68 inches. What is the area of the clock? (Use 3.14 for .)
To find the area of the clock, we need to use the formula for the area of a circle:
Area = π * radius^2
Since the circumference of the clock is 37.68 inches, we can calculate the radius by using the formula for the circumference of a circle:
Circumference = 2 * π * radius
37.68 = 2 * 3.14 * radius
37.68 = 6.28 * radius
radius = 37.68 / 6.28
radius = 6
Now that we have the radius, we can find the area of the clock:
Area = 3.14 * 6^2
Area = 3.14 * 36
Area = 113.04 square inches
Therefore, the area of the clock is 113.04 square inches.
