Small circular disks are being cut from thin sheets of steel. The steel weighs 1.6 grams per square centimeter. The disks need to have a diameter of 5 centimeters.

(A) find the area of the disk to the nearest hundredth of a square centimeter. Show the steps in your calculation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]A = 19.63cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]d =5cm[/tex]

[tex]Weight = 1.6g/cm^2[/tex]

Required

The area (A) of the disk

This is calculated as:

[tex]A = \frac{\pi * d^2}{4}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]A = \frac{3.14 * 5^2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{3.14 * 25}{4}[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{78.5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]A = 19.625[/tex]

[tex]A = 19.63cm^2[/tex] --- approximated
