Answer:
254.5 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the circumference of the frame is 56in
we can proceed to obtain the radius of the frame
we know that
circumference= 2πr
56= 2*3.142*r
56= 6.284r
divide both sides by 6.284
r= 56/6.284
r=8.9
approximately radius is 9in
therefore the area of the mirror that is largest would be
Area= πr^2
Area= 3.142*9^2
Area= 3.142*81
Area= 254.5 in^2
The largest area is 254.5 in^2
