Question

If a wheel has a diameter of
35 inches, what is the area of
the wheel to the nearest foot?

Answers

  1. Answer:

    961.625 ≈ 962

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (A WHEEL IS A CIRCLE!)

    To find the area of a circle, you must multiply the radius by itself twice, then, multiply the product by pi (radius x radius x pi).

    Here, only the diameter is shown.

    To find the radius, we must divide the diameter by 2.

    35 / 2 = 17.5

    17.5 is the radius.

    17.5 x 17.5 = 306.25.

    **3.14 is commonly used for pi**

    Lastly, we multiply the product by pi.

    306.25 x 3.14 = 961.625

    961.625 rounded to the nearest foot is 962.

    Therefore, the area of the wheel is 962 feet.
